Unidentified Soldiers Of The 33rd United States Colored Troops The 33rd was organized on January 31, 1863, or February 8, 1864, as 1st South Carolina Volunteers Colored Infantry. Attached to U. S. Forces, Port Royal Island, South Carolina, 10th Corps, Dept. of the South, to April, 1864. Mustered out January 31, 1866 "No officer in this regiment now doubts that the key to the successful prosecution of this war lies in the unlimited employment of black troops. Their superiority lies simply in the fact that they know the country, while white troops do not, and, moreover, that they have peculiarities of temperament, position, and motive which belong to them alone. Instead of leaving their homes and families to fight they are fighting for their homes and families, and they show the resolution and sagacity which a personal purpose gives. It would have been madness to attempt, with the bravest white troops, what I have successfully accomplished with the black ones. Everything, even to the piloting of the vessels and the selection of the proper points for cannonading, was done by my own soldiers." — Excerpt from February 1, 1863 report by Colonel T. W. Higginson, commander of the First Regiment South Carolina Volunteers (Union) after the January 23 - February 1, 1863 Expedition from Beaufort South Carolina, up the Saint Mary’s River in Georgia and Florida. Some people think these men were forced to go to war. But make no mistake: Many did it because they were brave, wanted to protect their families and country, and hoped to be respected for their actions. #memorialday2024 #blackhistory365 #blackhistoryisamericanhistory Credit: American Black History - Old Photos

Military Health Specialist states: “Obesity rates among Gen Z are alarming, with over 56% of 18- to 25-year-olds falling into this category. These individuals are often ineligible for military service due to the stringent physical fitness requirements.” We spend billions building weapons and nothing developing personnel to use them? The Army, Navy, and Air Force can be the champions of youth exercise and begin developing a new generation of warriors by dedicating 1/10,000 of their budget to youth exercise in schools. #army #navy #airforce #marines #military #armedforces

This is leadership, Mission and Installation Contracting Command. Contracting is not simply another job. Contracting is a mission. For all my fellow veterans out there, you know how important the mission is. Above all, we serve the Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, Coast Guardsmen, and Guardians. There are many competing interests in the world of contracting, but one interest should always be at the forefront and guide all decision-making: the service members. Col. Adams exemplifies true leadership by putting them first. Supporting the mission and resourcing our service members is what contracting is all about. As an ol’ former Army Infantry Captain now at Camp Lejeune supporting the Marine Corps contracting mission, I am proud to see that the Army has its priorities exactly where they need to be. #contracting #governmentcontracting #leadership
