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.
The US Special Forces (Green Berets) use two crossed ARROWS. The SF specialize in using early (primitive) weapons. The SF used "Tomahawks" in Vietnam.
The tomahawk, a type of hand axe traditionally associated with Native American culture, has roots that date back to the early 17th century. While the exact date of its invention is unclear, it evolved from earlier stone tools used by Indigenous peoples in North America. The design and materials of the tomahawk have changed over time, but it became widely recognized and used during the colonial period.
I have personally been to firebase tomahawk which is located on the coast about 45km from Hue City, near Phu Loc, I climbed to the top where the base once was and you can still see some old tarmac from the firebase however it has been retaken by vegatation, it is however very interesting to visit.
