The US Army, like the US Department of Defense, is supported by the tax payer. The US Army Corp of Engineers is part of the US Army; just like the US Army Artillery, or US Army Armor, or US Army Infantry.
Corps is only used one way, as a team, as in Marine corp, the ress corp, Peace Corp. There is no other use. Car, on the other hand. can be a vehicle OR a moving part of a train or elevator. Definition is varied enough to win out over corp.
