U.S. Army Ordnance Corps Insignia - History and Symbolism #3694136 (License: Personal Use)

The Ordnance Corps emblem features a circular design with “ORDNANCE CORPS U.S.A.” inscribed around the perimeter, topped by a flaming grenade-a historic symbol of explosive ordnance-and flanked by crossed cannons. Inside the circle, crossed tools (wrench and hammer) intersect over a shield-like background, signifying the Corps’ dual role in combat support and technical maintenance. The three vertical bars on each side represent the three core functions: ammunition, weapons, and vehicles.
