From what I can gather:
1. AD=Air Defense
2. AG=Adjutant General
3. AR=Armor
4. AV=Aviation
5. CM=Chemical Corps
6. CY=Cyber
7. EN=Engineers
8. FA=Field Artillery
9. FI=Financial
10. IN=Infantry
11. MI=Military Intel
12. MP=Military Police
13. MS=Medical Corps
14. OD=Ammo, Mech. Maintenance, Ordinance
15. QM=Quartermaster
16. SC=Signal Corps
17. TC=Transportation Corps
I get infantry, but what is it about field artillery? It definitely needs it's own emoji; something that goes like this!![]()

As in why do so many people branch FA?
On a separate note, and stirring the pot, but still not sure why Air Defenders call themselves artillery....
And for combat arms branch options artillery crews are usually miles behind the front lines . . .
But they do call it the Queen of battle for good reason.

In the past FA and EN were more popular. A couple years ago I took a casual look at the branches of LT's killed in GWOT - a lot more FA than I would have guessed.
