Filers who listed US Army as employer reported $325,064 in itemized individual contributions in the 2008 FEC cycle. Those receipts arrived in 497 contributions from 232 donors. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $4,124,725, so 2008 is 7.9%. The string is employer text, not a defense NAICS total, not Army appropriated funds, and not an Army PAC.
Key figures
- US Army × 2008 is $325,064 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 497 contributions from 232 donors.
- 2008 is about 7.9% of the grouping’s $4,124,725 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a defense NAICS total, not Army appropriated funds, and not an Army PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
US Army employer text × 2008
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — US Army and 2008 — sum to $325,064. The cell holds 497 itemized contributions and 232 unique donors. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.
Neither the US Army hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. US Army as employer text in 2008 collected 497 lines from 232 donors. Active-duty members, civilians, spouses, and veterans who still typed the service can share the string. Official Army accounts are not the payor. Punctuation variants such as U.S. Army are other keys if stored separately. U.S. ARMY, UNITED STATES ARMY, ARMY, DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY, and US NAVY or US AIR FORCE are other keys.
7.9% of the US Army roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $4,124,725 ($4.1 million). The 2008 slice of $325,064 is about 7.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 92.1%. Treating 2008 as the US Army FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $4,124,725 as the denominator for the 7.9% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $4,124,725.
