The enlistment records are one of 45 series of electronic records currently available on AAD.

With 9.2 million records for enlistments in the Army, Enlisted Reserve Corps, and Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, this should come as little surprise. In the first year, thousands of AAD users performed more than 700,000 queries against the enlistment records file alone.
