Race/Ethnicity
Table 6.2 shows the FY 2000 Selected Reserve officer
accessions and officer corps by race/ethnicity. The proportions of Black
and Hispanic officer accessions in the Selected Reserve (10 and 4 percent,
respectively) are comparable to the proportions in the Active Component
(9 and 5 percent, respectively). In FY 2000, the Selected Reserve accessed
fewer new officers of "Other" race/ethnicity than the Active
Component (6 percent versus 8 percent).
The Army components of the Selected Reserve have the
highest proportions of Black (ARNG – 8 percent, USAR – 16 percent) and
Hispanic (ARNG and USAR 5 percent, each) officers. The USNR has the lowest
percentage of Blacks (4 percent); the USNR and USAFR have 2 and 3 percent
Hispanic officers, respectively – the lowest of the Reserve Components.
In the remaining components, the proportion of Black officers is approximately
4 to 6 percent and the proportion of Hispanic officers is 3 percent. The
Reserve Component maintained an equal percentage of officers of the "Other"
race/ethnicity group as the Active Component (4 percent).
