A African American soldiers served in segregated units.

Explanation:

African American soldiers did see combat and they filled many roles. In cavalry, infantry, airmen and many others. They served in their own segregated African American units away from white soldiers. This was because the United States was a segregated society at the time and that carried over to the military.
