Note: The data in the table reflect enlisted members as of 30 September 2017.
1. Because of changes in occupational coding procedures in FY 1998, data may not be comparable with figures in FY 1997 and earlier Population Representation reports.
2. 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.
3. "Non-occupational" may include patients, students, those with unassigned duties, and unknowns.
4. American Indian, Alaska Native
5. Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander
6. 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.
Rows and columns may not add to totals due to rounding.
