SELECTED RESERVE OFFICER ACCESSIONS AND OFFICER CORPS

This chapter describes demographic characteristics of Selected Reserve officer accessions and commissioned officers in FY 2000.[footnote 1] The total officer accessions for Reserves decreased in FY 2000 (from 17,447 in FY 1999 to 15,097 in FY 2000). Similarly, the size of the officer corps decreased from 124,309 in FY 1999 to 120,865 in FY 2000. Figure 6.1 shows the Reserve Component officer corps end-strengths for FYs 1974 to 2000.

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 56 percent of Reserve officer accessions and 57 percent of Reserve officer end-strength. With the exception of the ARNG and USMCR, accessions decreased for all components in FY 2000. End-strength decreased in the ARNG, USAR, USNR, and USMCR, but increased in the Air Force components, ANG and USAFR.
