  1. The race groupings used in this table reflect the number of individuals who indicate a single racial identity.  Individuals who self-identify 
      as multiracial are counted in the "two or more" category.
  2. American Indian, Alaska Native
  3. The Army does not report data on the number of active duty enlisted personnel in either the NHPI or "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.
      Rows and columns may not add to totals due to rounding.
