Source: Military data are provided by the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC).  Officer gains reflect an addition to the officer ranks between 1 October 2016 and 30 September 2017.  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.
