US MARINE CORPS

      Oznake grana i službi Kopnene vojske SAD-a su amblemi koji se nose na uniformi da bi pokazali u kojoj je službi ili grani nositelj. Doktori, bolničarke, zubari, veterinari, medicinska služba, medicinski specijalisti, kapelani i pripadnici pravne službe se smatraju „specijalnim službama“, a ostali su svrstani u osnovne grane. Oznake grana i službi se razlikuje od Kvalifikacijskih oznaka KoV-a jer je za kvalifikacijske oznake potrebno završiti i položiti ispite u školama ili nastavnim centrima, dok se Oznaka grane dodjeljuje pripadniku vojske prilikom pristupanja rodu ili službi.

      Branch insignia of the United States Army refers to military emblems that may be worn on the uniform of the United States Army to denote membership in a particular area of expertise and series of functional areas. Army branch insignia is similar to the line officer and staff corps officer devices of the United States Navy as well as to the Navy Enlisted rating badges. The Medical, Nurse, Dental, Veterinary, Medical Service, Medical Specialist, Chaplains, and Judge Advocate General's Corps are considered "special branches", while the others are "basic branches". Army branch insignia is separate from Army qualification badges in that qualification badges require completion of a training course or school, whereas branch insignia is issued to a service member upon assignment to a particular area of the Army.

AIR DEFENSE ARTILERY  PROTIAVIONSKA ARTILJERIJA

      Na ovoj oznaci su prikazana dva ukrštena poljska topa, preko kojih je u sredini položena raketa, sve u zlatnoj boji. Ukrštene topovske cijevi su kao oznake artiljerije u upotrebi od 1834. godine, kada su bile položene na regimentalne boje i bile i dijelovi oznaka za kape artiljerijskih oficira. Artiljerija prolazi kroz razne reorganizacije pa tako 1950 spajaju obalnu i poljsku artiljriju u jednu granu i dodjeljuju joj oznaku 19. 12. 1950., a 02. 01. 1957 dodaju na taj znak raketu. Kako se 1968 osniva protivavionska artiljerija kao zasebna grana, dodjeljuje joj se ovaj znak.

ARMOR  OKLOPNE JEDINICE

      Oklopne jedinice vuku svoje porijeklo iz konjičkih jedinica. Tenkovska služba je formirana 05. 03. 1918. godine. Oklopne sage su formirane 10. 07. 1940. godine. Oklopnjaci postaju stalna grana vojske 1950. godine. Svaka oklopna regimenta ima svoju vlastitu oznaku i grb.

      The Armor branch traces its origin to the Cavalry. The Tank Service was formed 5 March 1918. The Armored Force was formed on 10 July 1940. Armor became a permanent branch of the Army in 1950. Each Armor Regiment has its own regimental insignia and coat of arms

      Prednja strana tenka M-26, sa lagano podignutim topom leži na dvije ukrštene sablje, u koricama, sa sječivima okrenutim prema gore. Sablje su simbol konjice od 1851. godine. Oznaka je izrađena od metala zlatne boje. Znak je odobren 1950. godine i spoj je tradicije i sadašnje uloge oklopnih jedinica.

      The front view of an M-26 tank, gun slightly raised, superimposed on two crossed cavalry sabers in scabbards, cutting edge up, 13/16 inch in height overall, of gold color metal. The Armor insignia, approved in 1950, consists of the traditional crossed sabers (originally adopted for the cavalry in 1851) on which the M-26 tank is superimposed. The design symbolizes the traditional and current roles of armor.

CAVALRY  KONJICA

      Two crossed sabers in scabbards, cutting edge up, 11/16 inch in height, of gold color metal. The cavalry insignia was adopted in 1851. Officers and enlisted personnel assigned to cavalry regiments, cavalry squadrons or separate cavalry troops are authorized to wear the cavalry collar insignia in lieu of their insignia of branch when approved by the MACOM commander. Some of the armor and aviation units are designated cavalry units.

ABOUT NUMBERING  O BROJEVIMA NA OZNAKAMA

      Pripadnici pješadije, oklopnih jedinica (uključujući konjicu), specijalnih jedinica, avijacije, inžinjerije, poljske artiljerije i protivavionske artiljerije mogu nositi verziju oznake na kojoj se nalazi i broj  regimente. Za avijaciju KoV-a i protivavionsku artiljeriju broj se nalazi centru znaka. Za pješadiju, konjicu, specijalne jedinice i poljsku artiljeriju broj se „postavlja“ odmah iznad, ali tako da ne pokrivaju ozake (ukrštene sablje, puške, topovske cijevi...). Za oklopne jedinice broj se postavlja odmah iznad tenka.

      Members of Infantry, Armor (including Cavalry), Special Forces, Aviation, Engineer, Field Artillery and Air Defense Artillery regiments may wear a version of the insignia in which the regimental number is included in the insignia. For Air Defense Artillery and Aviation, the number is mounted on the center of the face. For Infantry, Cavalry, Special Forces and Field Artillery, the number is placed immediately above, but not covering, the intersection of the crossed rifles, sabres, arrows, or cannon, respectively. For Armor, the number is placed immediately above the tank.

CHAPLAIN ASSISTANT    KAPELANOV POMOĆNIK

      Znak izrađen od zlatnog metala sa stiliziranim rukama koje pridržavaju kapelicu otvorenih vrata su odobrene 1984 godine za pripadnike vojske (podoficiri ili vojnici - enlisted)  koji su Pomoćnici kapelana. Ruke predstavljaju vjersku podršku kapelici i religioznim programima, dok vrata kapele simboliziraju dobrodošlicu svim vjernicima.

      Stylized hands enclosing a chapel, door open, on a one inch disk of gold color metal. Authorized in 1984 for wear by enlisted personnel assigned as Chaplain Assistants.

FIELD ARTILERY  POLJSKA ARTILJERIJA

      Oznaka poljske artiljerije ima dva ukrštena poljska topa, od metala u zlatnoj boji. Ukrštene topovske cijevi su kao oznake artiljerije u upotrebi od 1834. godine, kada su bile položene na regimentalne boje i bile i dijelovi oznaka za kape artiljerijskih oficira. Kada 1968 godine bivaju odobrene posebne oznake za protivavionsku i poljsku artiljeriju, onaj znak sa raketom „ostaje“ protuavioncima, a stari znak, ukrštene topovske cijevi ponovno postaje oznaka poljske artiljerije.

      Two crossed field guns in gold color metal. Crossed cannons (field guns) for Artillery have been in continuous use since 1834, when they were placed on regimental colors, knapsacks, and as part of the cap insignia for Artillery officers The Field Artillery insignia, approved on 17 July 1902, had a gold wheel on the red oval, and the Coast Artillery had a gold projectile on the red oval. This red oval and wheel was replaced on 4 April 1907 by two field guns. It was superseded in 1957 by the consolidated Artillery insignia consisting of the crossed field guns surmounted by a missile. In 1968 when the Air Defense Artillery and the Field Artillery were authorized to have separate insignia, the former Field Artillery insignia was reinstated.

INFANTRY  PJEŠADIJA

      Dvije ukrštene stare puške, Springfield 1795 predstavljaju oznaku pješadije. Prvi put se ukrštene puške pojavljuju kao oznake na kapama pješadinaca 19. 11. 1875. godine. Tokom vremena se mijenjao model pušaka, dok konačno 1924. nije kao standard uvedena „springfildica 1795“ (1795 model Springfield Arsenal musket). Dizajn usvojen 1922., od 1924. ostaje do danas nepromijenjen, dolazilo je samo da malih razlika u dimenzijama, a osnovni dizajn više nije diran.

      Two gold color crossed muskets, vintage 1795 Springfield musket, 3/4 inch in height. Crossed muskets were first introduced into the Army as the insignia of officers and enlisted men of the Infantry on 19 November 1875. In 1924 the branch insignia was standardized by the adoption of crossed muskets and the 1795 model Springfield Arsenal musket was adopted as the standard musket to be used. The device adopted in 1922 has been in continual use since 1924. There have been slight modifications in the size of the insignia over the years; however, the basic design has remained unchanged.

INSPECTOR GENERAL    GENERALNA INSPEKCIJA

      Mač i fasces, 19 milimetara visine, ukršteni i preko njih položen vijenac ćine znak ove grane. U gornjem dijelu vijenca stoji natpis "DROIT ET AVANT" (ravno i naprijed), ispisan plavim emajliranim slovima. Na podoficirskim i vojničkim oznakama slova nisu emajlirana.

      A sword and fasces 19 millimeters (3/4 inch) in height, crossed and wreathed in gold color metal with the inscription "DROIT ET AVANT" (Right and Forward) in blue enamel on the upper part of the wreath. The enlisted version lacks the enamel.

MILITARY INTELLIGENCE    VOJNOOBAVJEŠTAJNA SLUŽBA

      Kroz povijest, obavještajne službe su bile jedan od osnovnih elemenata vojnih operacija tokom rata, kao i za vrijeme takozvanog "Perioda mira". U prošlosti je ove zadatke obavljalo osoblje Vojnoobavještajne službe KoV-a te Vojnosigurnosne službe rezervnog sastava KoV-a. Kako bi udovoljili sve većim zahtjevima, 01. 07. 1962. godine, osnovana je Obavještajno-sigurnosna služba. 01. 07. 1967. godine služba je preimenovana u Vojnobavještajnu službu.

      Historically, intelligence always has been an essential element of Army operations during war as well as during so-called periods of peace. In the past, requirements were met by personnel from the Army Intelligence and Army Security Reserve branches. To meet the Army's increased requirements for national and tactical intelligence, an Intelligence and Security Branch was established in the Army effective 1 July 1962. On 1 July 1967, the branch was redesignated as Military Intelligence.

OFFICERS    OFICIRI

      Zlatno obojeni metalni bodež, uperen naviše na sebi nosi zlatno sunce sa osam zraka od kojih su četiri ravne, a četiri valovite. Preko svega toga, po sredini znaka stoji ruža, zlatne boje, sa laticima obojenim u tamno plavo (emajlirano).

      On a gold color metal dagger, point up, 1 1/4 inches overall in height, a gold color metal heraldic sun composed of four straight and four wavy alternating rays surmounted by a gold heraldic rose, the petals dark blue enamel.

NCO's AND SOLDIERS    PODOFICIRI I VOJNICI

      Znak je originalno odobren 1962. Vojnoobavještajnoj službi, a '67. je ta služba dobila sadašnji naziv. Sunce sa osam zraka (četiri ravne, a četiri valovite) je simbol Heliosa, grčkog boga sunca, koji je mogao sve čuti i sve vidjeti. Četiri ravne zrake označavaju strane svijeta, što aludira na misiju službe po cijelom svijetu. Stavljanje sunca ispod ruže (starovremeni simbol tajnosti) označava rad službe u tajnosti. Djelomično vidljivi bodež nam govori o upotrebi agresivnih i zaštitnih mjera te elementu fizičke opasnosti u misijama. Zlatna boja je boja uspjeha, a tamno plava simbolizira lojalnost i aktivnost.

      The insignia was originally approved in 1962 for the Army Intelligence and Security Branch and redesignated to the Military Intelligence Branch on 1 July 1967. The sun, composed of four straight and four wavy alternating rays, is the symbol of Helios who, as God of the Sun, could see and hear everything. The four straight rays of the sun symbol also allude to the four points of the compass and the worldwide mission of the Military Intelligence Branch. The placement of the sun symbol beneath the rose (an ancient symbol of secrecy) refers to the operations and activities being conducted under circumstances forbidding disclosure. The partially concealed unsheathed dagger alludes to the aggressive and protective requirements and the element of physical danger inherent in the mission. The color gold signifies successful accomplishment and the dark blue signifies vigilance and loyalty.

QUARTERMASTER CORPS    INTENDANTSKA SLUŽBA

      Zlatni orao raširenih krila vreba sa kotača zaprežnih kola na kojem je na plavoj podlozi 13 bijelih zvijeza, sa zlatnim žbicama i bijelom glavčinom u sredini. Na to su položeni ukrštena sablja i ključ, oboje zlatne boje. Oznaka je odobrena 1895. godine, a 1912. se osniva Intendantski korpus (Quartermaster Corps) i znak ostaje do danas. Jedina je promjena u tome da je prvotni znak imao glavu nagetu prema prema krilu, s sada glava stoji izdignuta. Kolski kotač simbolizira transport i prvih 13 kolonija te korpus u Revolucionarnom ratu. Mač, simbol vojske te ključ, simbol skladišta predstavljaju kontrolu vojnog snadbijevanja, glavne zadaće Intendantskog korpusa. Orao je simbol SAD-a, a crveno, bijelo i plavo su američke nacionalne boje.

Left / lijevo

      Gold color eagle with wings spread perched on a wheel with a blue felloe set with thirteen gold stars, having thirteen gold spokes and the hub white with a red center; superimposed on the wheel a gold sword and key crossed diagonally hilt and bow up. The insignia of the Quartermaster Department was approved in 1895. The design was retained when the Corps was established in 1912. After World War I, the earlier design, with the eagle's head superimposed on one wing, was changed to depict the head above the wings. The wagon wheel is symbolic of transportation and symbolize the original colonies and the origin of the Corps during the Revolutionary War. The sword, indicative of the military forces, and the key, alluding to storekeeping functions, symbolize the control of military supplies by the Quartermaster Corps. The eagle symbolizes our nation; red, white, and blue are the national colors.

SIGNALS    VEZA

      Oznaku „vezista“ čine dvije ukrštene signalen zastavice, desna bijela sa crvenom sredinom, a lijeva crvena sa bijelom sredinom. Ostatak oznake je u zlatnoj boji. Po sredini je uspravna baklja. Ukrštene zastavice su korištene u jedinicama veze još od 1868. godine, kada su propisane za uniforme podoficira i vojnika. 1884. godine dodaju i signalnu baklju te tako od 01. 06. 1884. do danas znak ostaje ne promijenjen. Zastavice i baklja simboliziraju signalizaciju i komunikacije.

      Two signal flags crossed, dexter flag white with a red center, the sinister flag red with a white center, staffs gold, with a flaming torch of gold color metal upright at center of crossed flags; 7/8 inch in height. „Crossed flags" have been used by the Signal Corps since 1868, when they were prescribed for wear on the uniform coat by enlisted men of the Signal Corps. In 1884, a burning torch was added to the insignia and the present design adopted on 1 July 1884. The flags and torch are symbolic of signaling or communication.

SPECIAL FORCES    SPECIJALNE SNAGE

      Znak čine dvije ukrštene strelice zlatne boje. Oznaka je autorizirana 1987 za nošenje na uniformama osoblja Specijalnih snaga. Originalno, od 1890 do 1926, ovo je bila oznaka indijanskih izviđača. Tokom Drugog svjetskog rata, ovakve oznake nose pripadnici Službe prvih specijalnih snaga (First Special Service Force). Jedno je vrijeme, od 1984 do 1987 služila kao oznaka u Specijalnim operacijama (Special Operations - Career Management Field 18).

      Two crossed arrows 3/4 inch in height and 1 3/8 inches in width all gold color. he Special Forces branch insignia was authorized in 1987 for wear by personnel in the Special Forces branch. It was previously authorized in 1984 for wear by enlisted personnel in Career Management Field 18 (Special Operations). Originally (from 1890 to 1926), crossed arrows were prescribed for wear by Indian Scouts. During World War II, the crossed arrows were worn as collar insignia by officers and enlisted personnel assigned to the First Special Service Force.

WARRANT OFFICERS    ČASNIČKI NAMJESNIK

      Orao raširenih krila u kandžama drži dvije strelice i sve okruženo vijencem od lišća, sve zlatne boje. U upotrebi su bile od 1920 do 2004. Nakon toga perioda oznaku su nosili pitomci na Osnovnoj obuci za časničke (oficirske) namjesnike. Nakon usvajanja nove verzije AR 670-1, 2014 godine, oznaka časničkog namjesnika više se ne koristi.

      An eagle rising with wings displayed standing on a bundle of two arrows, all enclosed in a wreath, all gold color 3/4 inch in height. After being deemed obsolete, the insignia was still worn until 2014 by Warrant Officer Candidates until they graduated from the Warrant Officer Basic Course. After the adoption of a new version of AR 670-1 in 2014, the warrant officer insignia was taken out of use for uniform purposes.
