Oliver Dillard the first black officer who ended up his career in the integrated army as a "Major General." When his unit fought they were on top of it.
None of the blacks at that time expected when the Korean War broke out that they would be sent. Blacks were not allowed at that time to command the white people so the Colonel in charge of the 24th wanted to improve leadership, therefore he put some black officers over units that had white members, battalions and companies. They also had to put white officers over some black ones as well.
There were problems with the 24th in connection with ranks etc.
