Branch Identification
Each branch of the Army has certain things of which it is particularly proud. Those who serve together in any branch usually have a good deal in common. They like to be able to recognize each other. For this reason the uniform includes distinctive marks for each branch. These are two types; colored hat braids and metal collar insignia.
These are the identifying colors of the various arms, services, bureaus, etc.:
