Question 12 • United States History and Geography

Which statement is true of most World War II African American military units?

Answer
A
They were paid the same as white units.
B
They were better paid than white units.
C
They were kept from combat roles.
D
They were forced into combat roles.

Explanation

Most African American military units served in segregated forces, and military leaders often assigned them support and service duties rather than frontline combat. Some African American units did see combat, so it is too broad to say they were entirely excluded, but being kept from combat roles best describes most units.
