From 1866 to the early-1890s these regiments served at a variety of posts in the southwest United States and Great Plains regions. During this period, they participated in most of the military campaigns in these areas and earned a distinguished record. Thirteen enlisted men and six officers from these four regiments earned the Medal of Honor during the Indian Wars. In addition to the military campaigns, the "Buffalo Soldiers" served a variety of roles along the frontier from building roads to escorting the U.S. mail. | From 1866 to the early-1890s these regiments served at a variety of posts in the southwest United States and Great Plains regions.
