Sorry, but... by proper military terminology, a corps consists of 2-5 divisions - this allows the corps size to be up to 50,000 instead of merely 10,000. Corps are also the largest military unit that is even mildly internally consistent - with such organisations as armies essentially being "as big as one captain-general can handle" and army groups being peculiar to world wars.
So yes, corps could have a speciality - but they would be very vaguely specialised or else a bit of a one - trick pony militarily.
Might i suggest that regimental names are what you are looking for instead? Regiments of infantry, artillery, and even commando paratroopers are all possible and ridiculously specialised - the Ox and Bucks regiment D company, for example, were the first into Normandy on D - Day, and all arrived in gliders, while the rest of the regiment were all specialised for airborne assault - light, compact weapons, intense training, tanks that fit in wooden gliders and so on. Regiments are also useful as a storytelling tactic as larger formations are fluid between wars, but a regiment can potentially have a history going back centuries - the Honourable Artillery Company from Great Britain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honour.....illery_Company has been in continuous existence for 472 years, and is recorded as long ago as 1296.
For North American readers, the older Regimental system lacks historical depth, and the same importance may be placed on battalions, brigades or even, potentially, divisions - but one man in an organisation of 10,000 is a bit diluted, even if he is the major - general, as approximately 5 organisational levels separate him from even the rank of captain.
In other words, simply ensuring that you use the correct terminology can improve realism no end - and, of course, a regiment can mean a proper coat of arms for maximum symbolism.

I want to be a commanding corps! I would love to have my group called M.L.O.D ops. (Nick name often used is Melody) It stands for Magi Legion Opposed to Destruction. Sound good? or should I retry? I mean they're a group founded on magick and fight back any large threat to the planet or the Universe.
