Material provision of professional officers and warrant officers was one of the important elements of their on-duty and off-duty life. Service benefits were graded according to military rank, status group, and degree of military and civilian education. They were intended for providing decent housing, procuring the basic life necessities and food, spending a pleasant leave to recuperate, and last but not least, claiming various types of service uniforms. The basis for the payment of service benefits can be found in the practice of the former Czechoslovak Army, where the conditions of entitlement to service salary and other additional allowances were contained in the Czechoslovak service regulation Sm 100 and instead of Czechoslovak crowns, Slovak crowns were quoted at a ratio of 1:1. On the example of individual life situations, the author illustrates how the military administration was able to take care of professional officers and warrant officers, how it financially secured their social status and family background in 1939/1940.

After its formation, the Slovak Army went through turbulent changes and suffered from a critical shortage of officers and warrant officers, i.e. educators of Slovak soldiers. The officer and warrant officer ranks were supplemented from the civilian environment, which was not always sympathetic to the idea of an independent Slovak state. Officers and sergeants, not to mention the general duty men themselves, were thus prone to listen to propaganda that was not favourable to the ruling political regime. The army elite dealt with it by bans, appeals to national feeling and military (state) honour. Officers and warrant officers were the bearers of military duties, i.e. the duties of military service and status, such as obedience, loyalty, vigilance, bravery, discipline, and the preservation of military honour. Failure to perform military duties took various forms, including undignified behaviour affecting the military (state) honour itself. Disciplinary proceedings with the participation of disciplinary committees at the level of higher headquarters (divisions), or the main military headquarters and the Ministry of National Defence were used to deal with disciplinary offences of officers and warrant officers. Officers and sergeants needed the approval of the military administration to marry under strictly fixed conditions. It was typical for the Slovak Army that it was forbidden to marry foreign citizens (especially those from Czech lands). The author documents how the conditions were circumvented under the influence of various intercessions, interventions and service and family ties.
