100 let ve službách republiky - sociální péče o válečné veterány v České republice
100 years in the service of the republic - the social care of war veterans in the Czech Republic

Summary/Abstract: The contribution considers the development of social care for war veterans in the former Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic. At the same time, it reflects on the potential for social work in the Czech armed forces. The text focuses on an analysis of publicly available historical documents in the form of legislative regulations and policies from 1918 to the present, and provides information on the focus of social care for war veterans as well as on its politicisation and aspects of its historical discontinuity in the former Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic. The conclusion to the text provides a discussion on the necessity for and needs of social work in the Czech armed forces with concern to both war veterans and, generally, armed forces personnel as a relevant target group.
