This paper is devoted to the circumstances surrounding origin, development and termination of the Czechoslovak Motorist Defence Corps in 1938 and 1939. This organisation was established as a result of collaboration between Czechoslovak automobile clubs (Czechoslovak Auto Club and the League of Czechoslovak Motorists) and the Ministry of National Defence, while promoting development of motoring during a period in which the country was under threat. The primary objective was to popularise motoring and train new drivers, who would be capable of safely operating motorised vehicles in the event of a military threat and driving them under difficult conditions and orientating themselves in the field. Termination of this organisation is linked to the events in March 1939. This text is based on archive sources and the period press.
