DEOMI recognizes that this survey is two years old and possibly (although no necessarily) obsolete and any updates by the Pew Research Center will be posted when available. The survey looks at the views/worldwide attitudes on the subject of Muslims, including how Muslims view each other.

This report examines the size, distribution, and composition of the American military population, plus additions to (recruitment), departures from (retirement and other separations), and mobility of that population through reassignments.
