Native Americans
I painted up some Native Americans using Great Escape Games box of Renegade Indians. One of the figures is wearing an army coat with corporal stripes so I’ll probably add him to the cavalry posse as a Scout.
Indian Scouts had always been an informal part of the US Army but in 1866 the War Department officially authorized them. Initially issued Civil War era surplus they would eventually get their own uniforms and branch of service insignia. The insignia was a pair of crossed arrows. This insignia was later adopted by Special Forces.
