Yes, there is a sentence fragment in your passage. The clause "Whose tactical methods and regulations came to define the U.S. Army for most of the nineteenth century" is a fragment because it does not form a complete sentence; it is a dependent clause that begins with "whose" and lacks a main verb to stand alone.
You could revise it to create a complete sentence. For example:
"At the conclusion of the War of 1812, the youngest general in the army was Winfield Scott, whose tactical methods and regulations came to define the U.S. Army for most of the nineteenth century."
