The Bureau of Justice Statistics puts out a report on Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics that contains data on local and state law enforcement agencies with more than 100 officer

I didn't find reports from June 2003, 2004, and 2005 for easy comparison or that exactly support what you're after. Finding those numbers for each specific force (i.e. Air Force, Army, Marines, Navy, the Reserves for each.) might be more doable by searching the news releases on the DoD site. Another problem is that it seems that they work by fiscal, rather than calendar, year, so there won't be any 2005 figures.

Here's a nice chart from http://www.dod.mil/comptroller/par/fy2004/06-01_Detailed_Performance.pdf, page 19, accessed July 2, 2005.

I've retyped this chart from http://www.asafm.army.mil/fo/fod/cfo/afr/currentyr/two.pdf, page 10, accessed July 2, 2005.

The info from this retyped chart, doesn't entirely match http://www.dod.mil/comptroller/par/fy2004/06-01_Detailed_Performance.pdf, page 31, accessed July 2, 2005, but that may be because it's from the 3rd quarter.

It looks like about half of this is indeed an urban legend, or at least a legend of some kind. This Hitler connection is supported even in academic journals, as in: "Methadone, also called "dolophine" or "dollies" in old street parlance, came from World War II Germany as a synthetic opioid created for medical use. Supposedly, "dolophine" was named for none other than "Adolph" Hitler, perhaps one of the reasons its name was eventually changed." (Agar, Michael, and Heather Schacht. "A Tale of Two Policies: The French Connection, Methadone, and Heroin Epidemics." Culture, Medicine & Psychiatry; Sep2002, Vol. 26 Issue 3, p371, 26p).

Thanks for your question. Corporate ownership is very hard to unravel. Some companies make it very clear through their annual report or website who they own. Some don't.

First step is to see if the company that interests you is at all up front about ownership information. You might check if any of the companies have a website which give information about ownership or have an annual report available. You can access corporate annual reports as well as other types of corporate records which must be filed with the SEC using their free EDGAR service, http://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/webusers.htm.
