  1. 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.
  2. The Population Representation in the Military Services Report (POPREP) uses data from DMDC. Breakouts of accessions by service component and 
      non-prior service/prior service designation will not match reports by individual services because of differences in defining defining prior service accessions. 
  3. 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/ethnicity data only represent the last three quarters of FY 2003.
