Chapter 6:

Race/Ethnicity

Table 6.2 shows the FY 2001 Selected Reserve officer accessions and officer corps by race/ethnicity. The proportions of Black and Hispanic officer accessions in the Selected Reserve (9 and 4 percent, respectively) are nearly identical to the proportions in the Active Components. In FY 2001, the Selected Reserve accessed a slightly smaller proportion of new officers of "Other" race/ethnicity than the Active Components (7 percent versus 8 percent).

The Army components of the Selected Reserve have the highest proportions of Black (ARNG - 8 percent, USAR - 16 percent) and Hispanic (ARNG and USAR 5 percent, each) officers. The USNR has the lowest percentage of Blacks (4 percent); the USNR and USAFR both have less than 3 percent Hispanic officers - the lowest of the Reserve Components. In the remaining components, the proportion of Black officers is approximately 4 to 6 percent and the proportion of Hispanic officers is slightly above 3 percent. The Reserve Components maintained an equal percentage of officers of the "Other" race/ethnicity group as the Active Components (5 percent).
