Editing Corps (section)

====United States====
The [[Department of Defense (United States)|Department of Defense]]; the [[Department of Transportation]]; and the [[United States Department of Health and Human Services]] use ''corps'' administratively in several ways.

1) In the title of the [[United States Marine Corps]], ''Corps'' is used as a service-branch designator, in much the same way as ''Force'' and ''Guard'' are used for the [[US Air Force]] and [[US Coast Guard]].

2) The [[US Army]] (all [[Structure of the United States Army#Active and reserve components|components]]; [[Regular Army (United States)|Regular Army]], [[United States Army Reserve|Army Reserve]], and [[Army National Guard]]) uses administrative ''corps'', also known as [[Structure of the United States Army#Branches and functional areas|''army branches'']], to group personnel with a common function. These include the [[U.S. Army Acquisition Support Center#Overview|Acquisition Corps]], [[United States Army Adjutant General's Corps|Adjutant General's Corps]], [[Chaplain Corps (United States Army)|Chaplain Corps]], [[Chemical Corps]], [[United States Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command#Civil Affairs Units|Civil Affairs Corps]], [[Cyberwarfare in the United States#Army|Cyber Corps]], [[Dental Corps]]*, [[United States Army Corps of Engineers|Corps of Engineers]], [[Finance Corps]], [[Judge Advocate General's Corps]], [[Logistics Corps]], [[Medical Corps]]*, [[Medical Service Corps]]*, [[Medical Specialist Corps]]*, [[Military Intelligence Corps]], [[Military Police Corps (United States)|Military Police Corps]], [[Nurse Corps]]*, [[United States Army Ordnance Corps|Ordnance Corps]], [[Psychological Operations (United States)#Army|Psychological Operations Corps]], [[Quartermaster Corps]], [[Signal Corps]], [[Transportation Corps]], and [[United States Army Veterinary Corps|Veterinary Corps]].* Each of these corps is also considered a [[United States Army Regimental System#Combat Support (CS), Combat Service Support (CSS), and Special Branches|''regiment'']] for purposes of: "... affiliation, ... loyalty and commitment, ... sense of belonging, ... unit esprit, and ... war fighting ethos."  However, these regiments have no tactical function. The six corps (annotated by an asterisk above after each applicable corps' name) of the [[Army Medical Department (United States)|Army Medical Department]] (AMEDD) are included in the AMEDD Regiment

3) [[US Navy]] officers who are not ''[[line officer]]s'' (i.e., those who exercise general command authority and are eligible for operational command positions, as opposed to officers who normally exercise authority only within their own specialty<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.navyreserve.com/glossary/l/line-officer.html |title=URL Unrestricted Line Officer |publisher=NavyReserve.com |access-date=2016-12-13 |archive-date=3 July 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110703095928/https://www.navyreserve.com/glossary/l/line-officer.html |url-status=live }}</ref>) are commissioned into various [[United States Navy staff corps|''Staff Corps'']]. These officers are specialists in career fields that are professions unto themselves, such as ministers, civil engineers, architects, dentists, lawyers, physicians, healthcare administrators, healthcare scientists, clinical care providers, nurses, financial managers, and logistics and supply specialists. These ''corps'' include the [[Navy Chaplain Corps|Chaplain Corps]], [[Civil Engineer Corps]], [[Navy Dental Corps|Dental Corps]]*, [[Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Navy|Judge Advocate General's Corps]], [[Navy Medical Corps|Medical Corps]]*, [[Navy Medical Service Corps|Medical Service Corps]]*, [[Navy Nurse Corps|Nurse Corps]]*, and the [[Navy Supply Corps|Supply Corps]]. The Navy also has a [[Bureau of Medicine and Surgery#Organization|Hospital Corps]] consisting of enlisted medical technicians. The Hospital Corps, along with the four Navy health services corps listed above (indicated by asterisk), is one of the five corps of the Navy [[Bureau of Medicine and Surgery]].

4) The US Air Force uses the title ''corps'' to designate several non-tactical organizations. These corps include five distinct health services corps of the [[United States Air Force Medical Service]] (AFMS). The AFMS corps are the [[United States Air Force Medical Service#Biomedical Sciences Corps|Biomedical Sciences Corps]], [[United States Air Force Medical Service#Dental Corps|Dental Corps]], [[United States Air Force Medical Service#Medical Corps|Medical Corps]], [[United States Air Force Medical Service#Medical Service Corps|Medical Service Corps]], and [[United States Air Force Medical Service#Nurse Corps|Nurse Corps]]. The Air Force also has its own [[USAF Chaplain Corps|Chaplain Corps]] and [[United States Air Force Judge Advocate General's Corps|Judge Advocate General's Corps]].

5) In the US Armed Forces, the term ''corps'' is also used in a general sense to mean the collective membership of a specified military body. Those uses include: the [[Officer (armed forces)|''Officer Corps'']] and [[Non-commissioned officer|''Noncommissioned Officer Corps'']] (NCO Corps) of the armed forces, either collectively or individually by branch of service; the ''United States Corps of Cadets'' at the [[United States Military Academy]] and the ''United States Coast Guard Corps of Cadets'' of the [[United States Coast Guard Academy]]; the overall program title and aggregate collection of cadets and midshipmen enrolled in the [[Reserve Officer Training Corps]] (ROTC) of the several services (i.e., [[Army ROTC]], [[Navy ROTC]], and [[Air Force ROTC]]), as well as the cadet organizations of the six federally recognized [[United States Senior Military College]]s ([[The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina|The Citadel]], [[Norwich University]], [[Texas A&M University]], the [[University of North Georgia]], the [[Virginia Military Institute]], and [[Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University]]); and the members of the [[United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps|Naval Sea Cadet Corps]].
