Is that just combat soldiers or is that all military including the officer ranks?
I would guess all given those two options. Officers are involved in combat situations. More importantly, huge amount of soldiers is needed for logistic - it can be over 50% or even more for logistics.

Excluding officers and keeping in logistics would not make much sense. (Tho logistics does not mean safe either).
