Did African-Americans regularly perform front-line combat duties in the US Army in WW2?
Did the African-American troops of the US Army in the WW2-era regularly fight on the front lines? I tend to come across readings noting African-Americans were usually in supply, logistics, mess, etc. type of rolls; always in support, never direct combat. However, sometimes I come across photos like these three:

So what’s the deal? Did they regularly perform front line fighting?
though many served in the armed forces as cooks and maintainance, some saw the fromt line. it was very few and selected battalions only.
