Representation
within Occupations
The distribution of officers across occupational areas is shown in Table
6.7 for both Active and Reserve Components. The largest proportions of
Reserve Component officers and Active Component officers are assigned
to tactical operations and health care positions (55 percent for each).
However, due to assigned missions, the Reserve Component has a smaller
proportion than the Active Component in tactical operations (34 and 37
percent, respectively), but a greater proportion of officers in health
care (21 and 19 percent, respectively).

classified as general or executive officers by the Services (3 -
ARNG, 6 USAR, 250 - USMCR, 286 - ANG, and 156 - USAFR).
** Non-occupational includes patients, students, those with unassigned
duties, and unknowns.

Differences
in occupational assignment among the Reserve Component are shown in Table
6.8. With the exception of the USAR, the largest proportion of officers
in each component is in tactical operations. The ARNG and USMCR have the
greatest proportions of officers in tactical operations (47 and 57 percent,
respectively). The USAR has the smallest proportion of officers in tactical
operations (19 percent).
Many
Selected Reserve officers are health care professionals. The USAR and
USAFR have the greatest proportion of officers in health care occupations
(30 and 27 percent, respectively). Health care comprises the second largest
percentage of officers in the USAFR, ANG and USNR (27, 16 and 21 percent,
respectively). Relatively few Reserve officers are in intelligence, science
and professional, and administrative occupations.
