    Did you happen to see or know the total active military personnel to know what % of the US military that 188k will be?

    Edit: nvm I googled it lol its 2.86 million so that’d be 6% of total military personnel

      Total including reserves and civilians in the defense industry, yes. About half that number is active, about 1/4 reserves, and 1/4 defense industry civilians.
