Buffalo Soldiers. On June 28, 1866 two U.S. Army African American regiments were formed, the 9th and 10th cavalries. Members of those units and two all-black infantry regiments, the 24th and 25th, came to be called Buffalo Soldiers. By 1867, the four regiments were consolidated into the 9th and 10th cavalry units, and all were sent to the West to (among many other duties) fight Indians and protect settlers, cattle herds, and railroad crews.
