#39thinfantryregiment

[sfc-paulchambers]

After the Civil War , congress authorized the creation of 6 segregated black regiments to serve in the peace-time Army . The 9th & 10th Cavalries & the 38th through 41st Infantries were thus formed.The new cavalries were mainly stationed in the south west & the Great Plains , where it was their responsibility to build forts & maintain order in a frontier overrun by outlaws & occupied by native Americans battling land-grabbing intruders. The black troops earned the nickname #buffalosoldiers as much for their ability in battle as for their dark skin—from the Cheyenne Indians.The men of the 9th & 10th Cavalries further proved their abilities in the #spanishamericanwar & in guarding the #mexicanborder . Members of both regiments fought in #cuba , participating in the battle at #sanjuanhill . The 10th also served under #generaljohnpershing in the expedition against Mexican revolutionary #panchovilla . In 1941, the two regiments merged to form the 4th Cavalry Brigade, which was led by the U.S. Army first black general, #benjaminodavissr & would exist for only 3 years before all horse #cavalryregiments were disbanded.If you’re ready to be a part of #history & #armyhistory then #contactmenow 615-429-0932 #armystrong #armyteam #blacksoldiers #9thcavalry #10thcavalryregiment #bearmystrong #bedifferent #theydiditwhycantyou #theydidit #whatsyourexcuse #teamarmy U.S. Army U.S. Army Reserve #bedifferent #blackhistorymonth #38thinfantryregiment #39thinfantryregiment #40thinfantry #41stinfantryregiment #bearmystrong #brotherhood (at Giles County High School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CokLn4tuucO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
