African Americans faced numerous obstacles when seeking to serve in the military, including systemic racism, discrimination, and segregation. Many were initially barred from enlistment or assigned to non-combat roles, reflecting widespread societal prejudices. Additionally, they often encountered inferior training, equipment, and living conditions compared to their white counterparts. Despite these challenges, many African Americans persevered, demonstrating bravery and skill in combat, ultimately helping to challenge racial stereotypes and advocate for civil rights.
