US ARMY money in federal elections

Branch employer text, not an Army budget

1,040 unique donors produced 28,592 contributions totaling $4,124,725. About 27 itemized gifts per person and a mean gift near $144 describe the arithmetic. Official Army funds and the Department of the Army are not the payor in this rollup. FEC individual itemizations record what the contributor listed as employer. These rows are the self-reported US ARMY string plus itemized amounts.

Top employer matches US ARMY. “U.S. Army,” “United States Army,” ARMY, and DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY can exist as other keys. They are not inside $4,124,725 unless they matched this exact label. LobbyVault does not recode punctuation or “U.S.” versus “US” into one branch total.

Who can appear among 1,040 donors

Active-duty members, civilians listing the branch, retirees who still write US ARMY, spouses using the same shorthand, and former soldiers can all land in the cluster. The FEC does not certify current service. Unique-donor count is matching text, not an end-strength figure for the Army.

Occupation fields such as soldier, officer, or civilian employee are a separate cut. Use occupation breakdowns for titles. This page stays on the US ARMY industry key. Mean per donor is about $3,966 from $4,124,725 divided by 1,040 people.

What 28,592 contributions omit

No component split (active, Guard, Reserve), no rank, and no cycle year sit on the industry headline. Recipients and dates are on FEC.gov and on the US ARMY donor table. Unitemized gifts never appear in the $4.1M figure.

US NAVY, US AIR FORCE, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, and U S GOVERNMENT are other employer strings. This total is US ARMY only. Combining service-branch labels would invent a DoD recode the FEC did not store.

Donor table without service inference

The US ARMY donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a unit, a duty station, or a motive to that line. Retirees who still type the branch share the string with current personnel.

Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the branch string. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

US ARMY versus other service and government keys

US ARMY keyed $4.1M from 28,592 contributions and 1,040 donors. US NAVY and US AIR FORCE are sibling branch pages if they exist as other keys. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT and U S GOVERNMENT are generic government-employer keys; they are not assumed to contain Army personnel who typed the branch name.

Keep $4,124,725, 28,592 contributions, and 1,040 donors on this branch spelling. Punctuation variants of the Army name stay on their own pages unless they grouped to this exact string. Occupation breakdowns list titles stored beside this employer. This page does not describe official appropriations.

Read $4,124,725 as one branch spelling’s itemized federal receipts, not as an Army budget line and not as a combined DoD total. The 28,592 contributions and 1,040 donors are matching-text counts on FEC.gov via LobbyVault. About 27 gifts per person, a mean gift near $144, and about $3,966 per donor are packet arithmetic. Unitemized gifts and official Army accounts are omitted. US NAVY, US AIR FORCE, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, and U S GOVERNMENT remain other keys. Occupation breakdowns list titles stored beside this employer. The donor table is the place to see names, amounts, and recipient committees without a rank or component attached to the branch string.

Punctuation variants such as U.S. Army or United States Army are not assumed to sit inside this $4.1M figure. LobbyVault grouped what committees stored as US ARMY. Active-duty members, civilians, retirees, spouses, and former soldiers can share that string; the FEC does not certify current service. Unique-donor count is not an end-strength figure. This guide does not describe appropriations. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Keep the overlay on the US ARMY donor table for line-level detail. All industries lists other government-employer strings for comparison without merging them here.

Questions

How much have US ARMY-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $4,124,725 to the US ARMY employer string, from 28,592 contributions and 1,040 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not Army official funds and not a NAICS national-security total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Is this the Army’s own campaign account?

No. The $4.1M total is contributor disclosures that listed US ARMY as employer or occupation. Official Army accounts are not the payor. The FEC field records what filers typed, not an institutional budget line. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault.

Does this include Navy or Air Force personnel?

No. US NAVY and US AIR FORCE are separate grouped strings if filers used those labels. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text US ARMY. Personnel who typed only FEDERAL GOVERNMENT sit in that generic row instead. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

How many unique donors listed US ARMY?

The rollup counts 1,040 donors and 28,592 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an end-strength headcount of the Army. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
