Note: Officer gains reflect an addition to the officer ranks. This addition can reflect a new accession, a movement from another component, or the return of the officer
to the same component. The OSD definition of an officer gain is a transaction in a database that reflects the addition of an SSN that was not in the previous file.
1. 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.
