Colored Troops segregated units of the U.S. Army comprised of black soldiers, usually serving under white officers. Segregation was U.S. Army policy from the
Civil War until 1945, when the Gillem Report recommended expansion of opportunities for black military personnel. In 1950, the Army issued special regulations governing the treatment of black personnel, and abolished the ten percent quota that had previously limited the numbers of African Americans in the military.
