1. 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.
2. Comparison group for commissioned officer gains includes 21-39 year-old college graduates in the civilian labor force, October 2016-September 2017 average.
3. American Indian, Alaska Native
4. Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander
5. The Army does not report data on the number of active duty enlisted personnel in the "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.
6. Officer corps reflects commissioned officers serving as of 30 September 2017.
7. Comparison group for commissioned officer corps includes 21-49 year-old college graduates in the civilian labor force, September 2017.
