  1. Because of changes in occupational coding procedures in FY 1998, data may not be comparable with figures in previous Population Representation reports.
  2. 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.
  3. Although women do not serve in infantry positions, they do serve in other positions, such as gun crews, air crews, and seamanship specialties, which are part of the "infantry" area.
  4. Non-occupational includes patients, students, those with unassigned duties, and unknowns.
  5. The US Army Reserve (USAR) does not report data on the number of enlisted personnel in the "Two or more" category. Caution should be used in comparing the racial composition 
      of the USAR’s enlisted force with those of the other Selected Reserve components.
  6. Includes individuals who indicated non-Hispanic ethnicity or did not respond to the ethnicity question.
  7. The Army National Guard (ARNG) does not report data on the number of enlisted personnel in either the NHPI or "Two or more" category. Caution should be used in comparing 
      the racial composition of the ARNG’s enlisted force with those of the other Selected Reserve components.
