Representation Within Occupations
Because the USCG does not have any combat restrictions, the same proportion
of USCG female and male officers were in tactical operations. 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.
