  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.
  2. Comparison group for gains includes 21-35 year-old college graduates in the noninstitutional civilian population, October 2012-September 2013 average.
  3. American Indian, Alaska Native
  4. The Army does not report data on the number of active duty officers or active duty officer gains 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 officer corps or officer gains with those of the other Services.
  5. Comparison group for officers includes college graduates in the civilian labor force, (21-49 years old) September 2013.  Military data are provided by the Defense Manpower
