  1. In FY 2003 there was a change in the way DoD reported race/ethnicity data. The new race/ethnicity data were not available for all services until after the first 
      quarter of FY 2003.  Therefore, DoD race and ethnicity data only represent the last three quarters of FY 2003.
  2. Population Representation in the Military Services (POPREP) is based on data from DMDC. Breakouts of accessions by service component and 
      prior service (PS)/NPS service designation will not match reports by individual services because of differences in defining PS accessions. 
  3. The race groupings used in this table reflect the number of individuals who indicate a single racial identity.  Individuals who self-identify as multiracial are 
      counted in the "two or more" category.
