| 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. | ||||||||||||||||||
