Note: Enlisted gains reflect an addition to the enlisted ranks between 1 October 2017 and 30 September 2018. 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 a gain is a transaction in a database that reflects the addition of an SSN that was not in the previous file.
1. AFQT scores are percentiles that are normalized to the 1997 American youth population.  For example, a score of 92 represents the 92nd percentile and means that 92 percent of the youth population scored at or below that score.  It is standard to report these AFQT score percentiles in the categories listed below.
Cat I:   100-93 Cat IIIB:   49-31
Cat II:   92-65 Cat IV:   30-10
Cat IIIA:   64-50 Cat V:   9-1
2. The Army National Guard (ARNG) does not report data on the number of enlisted gains in the "Two or more" category.  Caution should be used in comparing the racial composition of the ARNG's enlisted gains with those of the other Selected Reserve components.
3. American Indian, Alaska Native
4. Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander
5. The US Army Reserve (USAR) does not report data on the number of enlisted gains in the "Two or more" category. Caution should be used in comparing the racial composition of the USAR's enlisted gains with those of the other Selected Reserve components.
Rows and columns may not add to totals due to rounding.
