- Asian Americans, who are Americans of Asian descent, have fought and served on behalf of the United States since the War of 1812. During the American Civil War Asian Americans fought for both the Union and the Confederacy. Afterwards Asian Americans served primarily in the U.S. Navy until the Philippine–American War. At the beginning of the 20th century, Asian Americans began to attend U.S. military academies, and the first Asian Americans were awarded the Medal of Honor. World War I saw Asian Americans serving as "non-whites" in the National Army. After World War I, Asian American service fell into obscurity until World War II when significant contributions by Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, and Korean Americans were documented. With the desegregation of the U.S. military in 1948, segregated Asian American units ceased to exist, and Asian Americans served in integrated armed forces. Asian American combatants in the Korean and Vietnam conflicts were awarded the Medal of Honor, and Asian Americans have continued to serve into the present day. (en)
- 亚裔美国人军事史最早可以追溯至1812年战争（第二次独立战争）时期，当时就有亚裔士兵加入美国军队与英国军队作战。在后来的南北战争期间，联邦军（北軍）和邦联军（南軍）两方皆有亚裔军人参战的记录。在此之后，亚裔美国人主要在美国海军服役直到美菲战争。 到了20世纪初，亚裔美国人开始进入西点军校等联邦軍事院校。同一时期，也产生了第一位获得代表美国最高军事荣誉——荣誉勋章的亚裔美国军人。 第一次世界大战中，亚裔等非白人族群在国民军（National Army）中服役。一战以后，亚裔军人陷入默默无闻的低潮，直到第二次世界大战，涌现出诸多日裔、华裔、菲裔、韩裔等在战争中做出巨大贡献的亚裔美軍军人。 根据1948年杜鲁门总统颁布的9981號行政命令废止了军队中的种族隔离制度，如陸軍442步兵团等一些由亚裔編成的部隊均取消編制，士兵分配至其他单位。在韩战和越战中又出现了数位获得荣誉勋章的亚裔美国军人。此后，亚裔美国人继续在军队中服役，直至今日。 (zh)
