The number and strength of the various corps changed over time. The Union had 25 numbered corps, plus an ambulance corps, balloon, cavalry, and telegraph corps. Not all of these were in operations at the same time. Not all of the Confederate Army was divided into corps. The Army of Northern Virginia had four regular corps and one cavalry corps.

Which branch of military is on the front line?
All of them. Air Force and Navy pilots penetrate the furthest into enemy territory than anyone else. The Air Force has their Tacp, Pararescue, and Security Police personnel, who are often in harm's way, and it's much the same with units such as the Navy's Construction Battalions, not to mention that, as the Marine Corps does not have certain services (such as a medical corps), those services are provided by Navy personnel, who will be attached to Marine units. Air strikes are called in by Air Force Tacp personnel. So it's not just the Army and Marine Corps.
