The study follows chronologically and in content the work J. Štaigl published in Military History, 4, 2000, no. 1 and no. 3-4. Unlike the previous works, however, the issue of protection of border is understood in larger sense, as a system of measures to secure not only the land border line, but also the airspace. By monitoring the development of the protection of land borders and issues connected with the activities of the Border Guard it also focuses on the activities of other border authorities. When analyzing the protection of land sections of the border, the authors of the study focused primarily on the 11th Border Guard Brigade with headquarters in Bratislava, its organizational and dislocation development, equipment and material support, ways and means of protection of the border, intelligence and cooperation with local people, army and other security forces. Attention is paid to issues of engineer and technical protection of the border. Organizational and dislocation development of other units of the border protection is analyzed in details. In connection with political and social changes in the late 1990, the gradual formation of a new model for border protection which culminated in the abolition of Border Guards on 31st December 1990 and transforming of its components to Border Police is mapped.

Key words: Military History. Czechoslovakia. Protecting the border. 1969 – 1992.
