The symbol for the 45th Infantry Division of the United States Army, before the 1930s, was a red square with a yellow swastika, a tribute to the large Native American population in the southwestern United States.

The swastika was used by a lot more groups than just Hindus, one of which being U.S. infantry divisions.
