  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. Tables do not include 944 idividuals classified as general officers by DMDC (11 White, 8 Black, 7 AIAN, 20 Asian, 303 NHPI, 574 multiple race, and 21 unknowns).
      The "General Officer" category is officially called "General Officers and Executives, N.E.C."  It includes  "...all directors, planners and executives not elsewhere classified, and all 
      Marine Corps full Colonels."
  3. "Non-occupational" may include patients, students, those with unassigned duties, and unknowns.
  4. American Indian, Alaska Native
  5. The Army does not report data on the number of active duty officers or active duty officer gains in either the Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander (NHPI) or "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.
