1. Comparison group for gains includes 21-39 year-old college graduates in the noninstitutional civilian population, October 2018-September 2019 average.
2. Officer gains reflect an addition to the officer ranks between 1 October 2018 and 30 September 2019.  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.
3. American Indian, Alaska Native
4. Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander
5. The Army does not report data on the number of active duty officers or active duty officer gains in the "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.
6. Comparison group for officers includes college graduates in the civilian labor force (21-59 years old) September, 2019.
7. Officer corps reflects commissioned officers serving as of 30 September 2019.
