Department of Defense Releases Annual Demographics Report — Modest Increase of Women in the Active Duty Force
Nov. 10, 2021
While the overall size and racial diversity of our military remained steady, the number of women serving in the active duty force, both enlisted and officers has grown slightly, according to the newly released 2020 Demographics Profile of the Military Community report.
The demographics profile of the military community is an annual report on the demographic makeup of the military community, including service members and their dependents. This year’s release of official DoD data is fully interactive, enabling users to customize how they view the latest data on the military community.
"The annual demographics report provides a meaningful way to highlight the changing nature of our military. DoD remains committed to ensuring that our ranks are inclusive and reflect the country we serve,” said Gilbert R. Cisneros, Jr., undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness.
