Only the US Army (not the USMC, Navy, or Air Force) use a "branch insignia" identifying their speciality (job-termed MOS=Military Occupational Speciality). Examples: Armor-two crossed swords with the front view of a M26 Pershing tank centered on the swords; Infantry-two crossed muskets; Artillery-two crossed cannon tubes (barrels); Military Police-two crossed pistols; Signal Corps-two crossed flags; Transportation-a ship's steering wheel; Chemical Corps-two crossed labratory flasks; Ordnance-a cartoon looking bomb with a fuse on top; Engineers-a castle; Administration-a red, white, and blue shield; etc.

What axe does Johanna use in Catching Fire?
I just saw the film today and I noticed her axe very closely resembles the M48 tomahawk that they sell all over ebay and amazon. The film makers took the creative liberties of enlarging the size from a tomahawk to a larger axe and giving the axe head some more reinforced metal down the shaft. So far the M48 tomahawk is the closest thing you can get to Johanna's axe though I hope that they start making the larger axe version just like the one from the film!
