Race/Ethnicity. The percentages of FY 1997
Selected Reserve officer accessions and officer corps by race/ethnicity are shown in Table 6.2. The proportions of Black and Hispanic officer accessions in the Selected Reserve are comparable to the proportions in
the Active Component (Blacks: Active - 8 percent, Reserve - 8 percent; Hispanics: Active - 4 percent, Reserve - 3 percent). In FY 1997, the Active Component accessed more new officers of "Other"
race/ethnicity than the Selected Reserve (7 percent versus 5 percent), but the Reserve Component maintained the same proportion as the Active Component of "Others" in their officer corps (4 percent each).
