Chapter 7:

 

Age

Youth dominates enlisted members, particularly in the overall DoD, where nearly half (49 percent) of the force was 24 years or younger compared to 43 percent in the USCG (Table 7.4). Thirty-nine percent of the USCG enlisted force was 30 years of age or older as compared to 33 percent of the overall DoD, and 75 percent of the civilian group. Though the USCG enlisted force tends to be older than the overall DoD enlisted force, it is considerably younger than the comparable civilian group.
