When Brit rides up to the Kiowa braves, he gives each of them a blanket. The next scene they are riding into the Indian camp and none of the braves have a blanket.
No military command would have built the fort where this fort was built. It is in a valley, looking up at a ridge-line all around (which would allow the enemy to easily fire down and into the fort) . Further, it is near a hill where a potential enemy (such as the Commanche and Kiowa in this film) could (and did) get close without exposing themselves to defensive fire. This is military engineering 101 and could (and often did) lead to a military disaster.
