*  The Population Representation in the Military Services (POPREP) is based on data from the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC). Breakouts of accessions by service component and prior service/non-prior
service designation will not match reports by individual services because of differences in defining prior service accessions. DMDC uses the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) to determine
prior service, but the services each use their own criteria.
**Includes individuals who indicated non-Hispanic ethnicity or did not respond to ethnicity question.
Rows and columns may not add to totals due to rounding.
