  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 
  2. Although women do not serve in infantry positions, they do serve in other positions, such as gun crews, air crews, and seamanship specialties, which are also part of
      this occupational area.
  3. "Non-occupational" may include students, patients, those with unassigned duties, and unknowns.
  4. American Indian, Alaska Native
  5. 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.
      Rows or columns may not add to totals due to rounding.
