3. In FY03, there was a change in the way DoD reported race/ethnicity data. However, the new race data were not available for all services until after the first quarter of FY03. As a result, the DoD data for individual race groupings reflect accessions for only the last three quarters of FY03.  First quarter total accessions were added to DoD second through fourth quarter subtotals in order to illustrate cross-year aggregate comparisons.  FY03 percentages by race grouping are for the last three quarters of FY03.
Rows may not add to totals due to rounding.
Source: Military data are provided by the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC).  Civilian data prior to 1989 represent calendar year.  Civilian data through 2015 are from Bureau of Labor Statistics Current Population Survey monthly files provided by DMDC. Data since 2016, were produced using Current Population Survey data by CNA replicating DMDC's approach for earlier periods.
