===== Definition ===== 

Military segregation refers to the practice of segregating servicemen and women based on their race or ethnicity within the military, particularly during times of conflict or war. Historically, the United States military has had a long history of racial segregation, with African American soldiers being separated from their white counterparts and serving in separate units, often with limited opportunities for advancement. This policy began to change after World War II, with the desegregation of the armed forces in 1948 following an executive order by President Harry S. Truman. Today, the U.S. military promotes diversity and equality, with individuals of various races and ethnicities serving side by side in integrated units.
