8 Thousands Active Marine and Family Status There was an increase in the number of children of Marines across most age groups from 2007 to 2011, with the sharpest increases occurring in the infant and school-age groups. Since 2011, the growth has leveled off and is now decreasing over most age groups (Data Source: DMDC - December 2014) Number of Children of Marines Data Source: DMDC December 2014 Infants Pre-toddlers Toddlers Preschool School- Teen Young Adult The general increase in the number of children from 2008 to 2011 is mostly due to the increase in the size of the total force, but there is still an increase in the ratio between the number of children and the number of Marines in the force. In 2008, there were 0.57 children per Marine, and in 2011 there were 0.63 children for each Marine. The current rate has decreased slightly to 0.60 children per Marine (Data Source: DMDC - December 2014).
