Minorities and occupational assignments

As shown in Table 5.15, just under two-thirds of all Selected Reserve personnel are in four occupational areas: infantry, administration, electrical/mechanical equipment repair, and service and supply. The largest percentage of Blacks and “Others” are in functional support and administration, while combat and electrical/ mechanical repair occupations are the most prevalent among Whites and combat and functional support occupations are most prevalent among Hispanics.
