If you are referring to World War I, the only answer I could possibly have is for you to look-up the casualties caused by the British and French commanders. The deaths numbered in the millions as a result of their incompetence. In one engagement alone, over 44,000 British soldiers died for 1/2 square mile of mud. During the battle of the Somme/Ypres it is estimated that over a 3 month period 1.2 French, British, and Germans died because the commanders were to stubborn and arrogant to realize that it was futile to continue.
Also, if you are, or ever have been, a member of the Armed Forces you would soon understand how repugnant the idea of being under any foreign command would be.
There were four US Army Regiments of Buffalo Soldiers that saw service in the Caribbean Theatre of the Spanish American War. The two Cavalry Regiments did not get to bring their horses with them and fought as Infantry.
The point was to bring the war to a quick end and to get the Japanese to surrender without losing a large number of American soldiers.
There were many including the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry Regiment and four Regiments of Buffalo Soldiers.
A dozen soldiers glared at the man.
None. The 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments were not formed until after the Civil War ended. However, they did fight against the Plains Indians who gave them the name Buffalo Soldiers, and they fought in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. NONE.
They often elected their own commanders who were politicians-in-uniform. There was an aspect of political elections about the forming-up of the new regiments.

In the US Civil War, generals and other commanders were responsible for making last minute decisions and they depended on the experience of their troops to carry out orders. In Sherman's view there were two ways to replace soldiers when it came to a point where a regiment had been reduced to such a degree, replacements were required. The Union army's formula for this was to raise entirely new regiments with commanders appointed by governors or at times voted on by the soldiers. This left the the older and more experienced regiments and battalions to dwindle away to obscurity. The soldiers as individuals would scatter and find new regiments to fight in with no real central point of control. The new sizes of Civil War armies often reached troops levels exceeding 50,000 men.Sherman's idea was to keep the older regiments intact and fill empty positions with new recruits as required. This would eliminate new inexperienced regiments and new commanders who had no experience at all compared to the rest of the army. The old US Army way was one cause of the high casualty rate amongst armies. Basically new soldiers and new commanders became easy targets when facing an experience force of Confederates.
African-Americans joined many Union regiments at the beginning of the war. In 1863, a large number of African American regiments were formed using primarily escaped slaves as foot soldiers. Most of their officers were white, because few blacks had the required education at that time.
No, blacks were allowed to fight in the war. Remember, the Union was against slavery. There were some all African American regiments and some mixed regiments. The Confederate Army even had black soldiers.

A member of one of the African-American regiments within the US Army after the Civil War, serving primarily in the Indian wars of the late 1860s.
Many white Army officers and southern politicians objected to the training of African American soldiers to use weapons. They feared that these black soldiers might pose a threat after the war.
