Corps badges i amerikanske borgerkrig blev oprindeligt båret af soldater fra EU hær på toppen af deres hær foder hætte ( kepi ), venstre side af hatten, eller over deres venstre bryst. Ideen tilskrives generalmajor Philip Kearny , som beordrede mændene i hans division til at sy en to tommer stor firkant af rødt klud på deres hatte for at undgå forvirring på slagmarken. Denne idé blev vedtaget af generalmajor Joseph Hooker, efter at han havde overtaget kommandoen over Potomac -hæren , så enhver soldat kunne identificeres på afstand.

Generalmajor Daniel Butterfield , Hookers stabschef, fik til opgave at designe en karakteristisk form for hvert korpsemblem. Butterfield udpegede også, at hver division i korpset skulle have en variation af korpsets badge i en anden farve. Division badges blev farvet som følger:

Rød - Første division af korps
Hvid - Anden division af korps
Blå - Tredje division af korps

Disse blev brugt i USA's Army of the Potomac. For det meste blev disse regler vedtaget af andre unionshære, men det var ikke universelt. For eksempel vedtog XIII Corps aldrig et mærke, og XIX Corps havde den første division iført et rødt mærke, den anden division havde et blå mærke, og den tredje division havde hvidt.

For hærkorps, der havde mere end tre divisioner, gik standardiseringen tabt:

Grøn - Fjerde division af VI , IX og XX Corps
Gul - Fjerde division af XV Corps (angiveligt blev Orange også brugt til et 5. Division -badge)
Flerfarvet - Hovedkvarter eller artillerielementer (visse korps)

Mærkerne for hvervede mænd blev skåret af farvet klud, mens betjentens mærker var privat fremstillet og af en højere kvalitet. Metalliske mærker blev ofte lavet af guldsmede og blev tilpasset brugeren. Skiltene blev til sidst en del af hærens regler og en stor kilde til regimentstolthed.
