Officer Classification and the Future of Diversity Among Senior Military Leaders: A Case Study of the Army ROTC

by Kimberly Curry Hall, Jefferson Marquis, Nelson Lim, et al.

The relative lack of minorities in certain military career fields has a significant impact on the diversity of the senior leadership. The relationship between career field choice, race/ethnicity, and membership in the senior officer corps appears to stem, at least in part, from racial and ethnic differences in the occupational preferences of officer cadets. The authors urge a full-scale study to learn the reasons behind these preferences.
