In total, combining Regular Force, ANG/AFRC, and civilian personnel in the DoD, the approximate count is closest to:

• A. 2.4 million
• B. 2.7 million
• C. 2.9 million
• D. 3.2 million

Answer: (C)

Total DoD personnel is the sum of three groups: active-duty Regular Force, the National Guard/Reserve (ANG/AFRC), and DoD civilian employees. Each group contributes its own headcount, and together they form the department’s overall workforce. Active-duty forces are around 1.3 million, ANG/AFRC about 0.8 million, and DoD civilians roughly 0.8–0.9 million. When you add these together, the total is about 2.9 million. So the closest estimate is around 2.9 million.
