9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments

The 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments are historically significant units in the U.S. Army, established in the late 19th century. They are famously known as "Buffalo Soldiers," composed primarily of African American soldiers during a time of racial segregation. These regiments played key roles in frontier patrols, the Indian Wars, and later in World Wars, demonstrating bravery and discipline. Over time, they evolved from traditional horse-mounted units to modern armored and mechanized forces, maintaining a proud legacy of service, resilience, and contributions to national defense.
