Explanation:

The language in this sentence suggests that the author wants to "show that the wartime goals of the U.S. Cavalry and the Kiowas were fundamentally different."

They fought out of their character and nature to fight and not because of the material gains they will get as a means of survival. Whereas, the U.S. Cavalry were somewhat different as they kept pushing forward even at a time when there is no war.
