Yes, the US Army played a significant role in moving Plains Indians onto reservations during the late 19th century. This process was part of a broader policy of Indian removal, which aimed to confine Native American tribes to specific areas in order to facilitate westward expansion and settlement. The army often used force to compel tribes to relocate, leading to significant loss of life and culture among the Plains Indians.

What did the American government do with the Native American populations after the army conquered them?
The Native Americans tried to defend their territory, but were not strong enough to protect themselves and their homes. They were either killed during the Indian Wars or moved to Indian Reservations. Even today many Native Americans still live on these Indian Reservations. The movement West displaced many Native Americans from their native homes. They were moved to Reservations that were often a long way from their native land. Not long after Congress herded the Native Americans onto Reservations, Congress enacted The Dawes Severalty Act (February 8, 1887) that deprived them of their legal status.

What policies did the U.S. implement for the Native Indians after the Civil War?
The "US Army's" policy was preserving the peace between the the White men and the Red men. The US Army seldom (if ever) went looking for trouble w/o authorization/orders. The army most often "responded" to complaints (like a police force), either from the Whites or the Red, it didn't matter, the army's mission was to maintain the peace and protect people on the frontier. When gold was discovered in the Black Hills South Dakota, the Whites began invading it...the Indians complained...and the US Army sent out patrols to arrest the white trespassers. Hollywood has trained the American public to believe that American Indians hated the US Army (they might have during actual battle, which is normal); when in fact they respected and trusted the US Army MORE than white civilians. The Red men knew that the US Army was following orders, and was a desciplined force of "warriors"; whereas they also knew that the white civilians were by an large, un-desciplined profit minded men. For further information, read: The "Biography of General George Crook, US Army."
Why did the Indians leave their country?
As the European settlers pushed ever westward, the native Americans were forced off their traditional hunting grounds. With the coming of the railways, slaughtering of the plains bison was used to rob the natives of the animals that provided them with food, hides, and many other commodities. Many native tribes were eventually forced on to indian reservations, often by force from the army.
What was the US army on the plains called?
cavalry
How did the Army have to change its organization and tactics to fight the Indian Wars as opposed to how it fought the Civil War?
In the Civil War, a US Army division consisted of mostly infantry with artillery and cavalry. [A CS Army division actually had more men, but they were all infantry with artillery and cavalry units attached as need-be.] Large military units; brigades, divisions, corps, and field armies were the general rule. After the Civil War, the only Indians who had not been destroyed or assimilated were the Plains Indians, entirely mounted, and fighting in the style of irregular light cavalry. Except to defend areas against them, infantry and artillery were of no use because they moved too slowly for offensive operations. The US Army cavalry opposing them were spread thinly over a wide area. They had to adopt the tactics of the Indians; ambush, feint, withdrawal, etc. One tactic which remained the same was the attempted starvation of the enemy, such as killing the Buffalo on which the Plains Indians depended, as had done earlier by burning Southern plantations. One difference between the Civil War and the Indian Wars was the difference in money allotted for the fighting of them. Much money was spent on winning the Civil War, while the Indian Wars were taken less seriously and budget cuts severely restricted the ability of the US Army to bring the Plains Indians into line.
