From 1955 it was a member force of the Warsaw Pact. On 14 March 1990 the Army´s name was officially reverted back to the Czechoslovak Army removing the adjective "People´s" from the name. The Czechoslovak Army was split into the Army of the Czech Republic and the Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia on 1 January 1993.
