  1. Calculations do not include 888 White, 35 Black, 4 AIAN, 10 Asian, 2 NHPI, 6 multiple race, and 31 unknowns.
      The  total is 976 (19 Hispanic and  non-Hispanic) O-6 officers classified as general officers by the services.
      The “General Officer” category is officially called “General Officers and Executives, N.E.C.”  It includes  “...all directors, planners and executives not elsewhere classified, and all 
      Marine Corps full Colonels.”
  2. Non-occupational includes patients, students, those with unassigned duties, and unknowns.
  3. Includes individuals who indicated non-Hispanic ethnicity or did not respond to the ethnicity question.
  4. The race groupings used in this table reflect the number of individuals who indicate a single racial identity.  Individuals who self-identify as multiracial are counted in the 
      “two or more” category.
