1  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.
Percents are percent of officers in that component and year that are female.
Military data are provided by the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC).
