Race/Ethnicity. The racial/ethnic
composition of enlisted personnel and officers deployed to Bosnia is compared to the Total Force in Table 8.2. In general, the make-up of active duty forces deployed to Bosnia during FY 1997 was representative of the
Total Force. There was a slight overrepresentation of Whites and underrepresentation of Hispanics. The race/ethnicity differences between the Bosnia and total forces were more pronounced among the Selected
Reserves than the Active Component. As in the Total Force, the Active Component force in Bosnia included a larger proportion of minorities than the Reserve Component (31 percent versus 14 percent, respectively).
