Executive Order 9981, issued by President Harry S. Truman on July 26, 1948, aimed to eliminate racial discrimination in the United States Armed Forces. It mandated the integration of the military and sought to ensure that all service members had the right to serve without discrimination based on race, color, religion, or national origin.

The most accurate impact of Executive Order 9981 on U.S. soldiers among the options given is:

**The law forced every branch of the military to integrate its troops.**

This order was a significant step toward the desegregation of the military, leading to gradual changes in policies and practices, although full integration and equal treatment took time to achieve. The order did not mandate the promotion of African Americans to higher ranks specifically, nor did it pertain to private sector defense contractors or involve interrogation.
