  2. American Indian, Alaska Native
  3. The Army does not report data on the number of active duty enlisted personnel in either the Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander (NHPI) or "Two or more" category. Caution should be used in comparing 
      the racial composition of the Army's enlisted force with those of the other Services.
