The United States Army is one of the three military departments (Army, Navy and Air Force) which reports to the Department of Defense. The modern US Army has its roots in the Continental Army, which was formed on 14 June 1775. The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is a US federal agency. The corp's mission is to deliver vital public and military engineering services. A shoulder sleeve insignia (SSI), is an embroidered patch worn on some uniforms of the United States Army. The SSI in this image was approved for the 168th Engineer Brigade in 2008.
