Representation Within Occupations
As was noted previously, the USCG does not have any combat restrictions.
By gender, more USCG female officers were in tactical operations than
male officers. Women were underrepresented in engineering and maintenance,
and overrepresented in the non-occupational area (Table 7.8). By race/ethnicity,
Black officers were underrepresented in tactical operations and Hispanic
officers were underrepresented in engineering and maintenance. Compared
to the overall DoD, the USCG officer corps comprised, proportionally,
more engineering and maintenance officers and fewer health care providers.
The difference in health care can be partially explained by the USCG's
reliance on the Public Health Service for some of its medical and dental
care.
