Corps insignia of the United States Army

Corps insignia of the United States Army

Shoulder sleeve insignia (SSI) are cloth emblems worn on the shoulders of U.S. Army uniforms to identify the primary headquarters to which a soldier is assigned. Corps are high level field commands, or can alternately be used to describe entire Combat Support and Combat Service Support branches (as in "the Military Police Corps").[1]

Note: for US Army Corps Badges 1861–1865 see American Civil War Corps Badges. For insignia of U.S. Army branches designated as "corps" see United States Army branch insignia.
