The Army deactivated a 160-year-old Buffalo Soldiers unit
A historic unit with a long lineage has ceased to exist. This change is reportedly part of a broader effort to update the Army's structure. The unit's legacy is tied to a group of soldiers from the past.
The Army made this move as it works to integrate new technologies. Further details about this decision are available from the Army. The original group of soldiers that this unit is connected to was formed during a time of war when there was a need for more manpower.
