The Army's action today brings them in line with other federal departments and agencies that have previously stopped using such outdated racial and ethnic terms for African Americans. "I hope the Army and other branches of our military uses this recent revelation to review other publications to ensure they are using the most appropriate language in all their official publications and manuals." ### Print Email Tweet Next Article | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
