WHAT DOES ARMY CORPS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

army corps

Corps

A corps is either a large military formation composed of two or more divisions, or an administrative grouping of troops within an armed force with a common function, such as Artillery or Signals. Corps may also refer to a particular unit or a particular branch of service, such as the United States Marine Corps, the Corps of Royal Marines, the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms, or the Corps of Commissionaires. The military term was subsequently adopted for public service organizations with a paramilitary command structure, volunteer public service organizations, such as the Peace Corps, various ambulance corps, some NGOs, and other civic volunteer organizations. Due to this use of the term, it has also spread to some other civic or volunteer organizations that lack the paramilitary structure.
