I didn't think so but it says AUS (Army of the United States) and RA (Regular Army) were used. Then during the Korean War they used US and RA. And it's been the same since then. Just as a clarification for those of you too young to remember, the Korean thing was a "Conflict", not a declared war. I recall a census taker years ago asking if my husband had been in a war and I said yes, Korea, and she corrected me. Come to think of it, that particular census might confuse folks in the future who heard of a family member being in Korea. No, the census taker said he wasn't in a war.
