SELECTED RESERVE OFFICER ACCESSIONS AND OFFICER CORPS

This chapter describes demographic characteristics of Selected Reserve officer accessions and commissioned officers in FY 2001.[Footnote 1] The total officer accessions for Reserves decreased in FY 2001 (from 15,097 in FY 2000 to 14,653 in FY 2001). Similarly, the size of the officer corps decreased from 120,865 in FY 2000, to 119,803 in FY 2001. Figure 6.1 shows officer corps end-strengths for the Reserve Components for FYs 1974 to 2001.

Table 6.1 compares the number and proportion of Reserve officer accessions with the officer corps. The ARNG and the USAR account for the largest proportion of Selected Reserve officers. The two Army components comprise 55 percent of Reserve officer accessions and 56 percent of Reserve officer end-strength. With the exception of the ARNG and USNR, accessions decreased for all components in FY 2001. End-strength decreased in the ARNG, USAR and USMCR, but increased slightly in the Navy and Air Force components, USNR, ANG, and USAFR.
