There are actually two other divisions of the Army, one for the Staff Specialty and Civil Affairs, both of which are part of the Reserve Component. There are also officers who wear special symbols such as Inspectorate and Senior Staff, who can be temporarily transferred out of their original branch of service for duty. Well, here's a look at the legend.
AIR DEFENCE ARTILLERY CORPS
AIR DEFENSE ARTILLERY
The service symbol for Air Defense Artillery was approved in 1957 and was designed as a single artillery service. The two crossed guns on the design mark the relationship between air defense artillery and field artillery, while the missile in the center marks a new development in modern artillery. By the time air defense artillery was authorized as an independent service in 1968, the symbol became the emblem of air defense artillery.

ARMOR CORPS
Armor Corps
Armor Corps
This one I'm sure you're relatively familiar with it. I think this symbol is a perfect blend of history and modernity, lol. Two 1851 cavalry sabers plus an M26 tank front, that is, adhering to the tradition of the cavalry, have embodied the characteristics of mechanized forces. This armored soldier symbol is officially approved for use in 1950.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AVIATION CORPS
Aviation Corps
This service actually has a very early history, the earliest airplanes were assigned to the Army Air Corps. But the insignia you see now was only authorized for use in 1983, so it can be said to be the newest branch of the Army. To be more specific, it was not until April 12, 1983 that the Army Air Corps officially became a combat service of the Army.

CALVERLY CORPS
Cavalry
Sadly. This troop type has been canceled and is no more. The information can't be found anymore either.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CORPS OF ENGINEER CORPS
Engineers
The Corps of Engineers symbol was inaugurated in 1840. The castle on the design symbolizes the two main functions of the engineer, construction and fortification. The origin of the Engineer dates back to June 16, 1775, when the Continental Congress decided to create the posts of one Chief Engineer and two Assistant Chief Engineers in the Continental Army.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIELD ARTILLERY CORPS
FIELD ARTILLERY CORPS
Field Artillery
The U.S. Field Artillery is the largest artillery corps in the world. >The U.S. Field Artillery was established in 1775. This design of two crossed cannons has been the service symbol worn by field artillery officers since 1834. Although the design has been changed several times over the years with the creation of the Coast Artillery and the advent of the Missile Corps, the current design has remained essentially the same.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INFANTRY
Infantry
This cross between two smoothbore rifles is the infantry pattern. pattern is the infantry service pattern. Officially designated for infantry officers in 1875, the pattern changed many times as new rifles were introduced, and by 1924 the Army had settled on using the first smoothbore rifle used by the Army in that year as the standard pattern for the Infantry Service Symbol.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL FORCE
Special Forces
This symbol of the two crossed feathered arrow symbol was authorized for use in 1987. It was once worn by Indian scouts in the late 1800s and by officers of the U.S. Army's 1st Special Service Unit during World War II
