Description

ARMFDS indicates whether an individual was on active-duty in U.S. Armed Forces in the Persian Gulf during Desert Shield and /or Desert Storm between August 1990 and April 1991.

Active duty does not include training for the Reserves or National Guard, but does include activation for service in the U.S. or in a foreign country, in support of military or humanitarian operations. The value of the final annual person weight (WTFA) for active duty military personnel is zero, so they are not included in national (i.e., weighted) estimates.
