US ARMY
Filers who listed US ARMY as employer or occupation on federal campaign reports account for $4.1M ($4,124,725) in itemized receipts on FEC.gov. The cluster holds 28,592 contributions and 1,040 donors. The label is service-branch text as typed—soldiers, civilians, or others using that employer line—not a NAICS national-security code and not an Army institutional account.
Key figures
- US ARMY as FEC employer text totals $4.1M ($4,124,725) from 1,040 donors.
- 28,592 contribution lines sit under that branch string.
- Other service branches and FEDERAL GOVERNMENT are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or Army PAC total.
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.

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.
Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
