It was during this period that U.S. Army policy required that African Americans serve in separate military units from white soldiers.

Hmmm... Wasn't there a rather large disagreement a few years prior to that, 1860-ish, that allegedly make the black man equal to the white man???

Right on the tip of my tongue... what was that???

This is a little of history that’s not talked about.

Pass the history around and stun some pompas/arrogant know it all types.

Spent a year and a half posted at that base 68-70. Just that alone should have been adequate punishment for those divisions. (tongue in cheek /s of course).
