*    The Population Representation in the Military Services (POPREP) is based on data from the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC). Breakouts of 
      accessions by service component and prior service/non-prior service designation will not match reports by individual services because of differences 
      in defining prior service accessions. DMDC uses the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) to determine prior service, but the
      services each use their own criteria.
**  Includes individuals who indicated non-Hispanic ethnicity or did not respond to ethnicity question.
***Civilian numbers and percentages combine tiers 1 and 2.
      Rows and columns may not add to totals due to rounding.
