Received this question. I supplied what I could, but would appreciate help with this answer. Thanks to all.
Hello, you are the only WW2 VI Corps org I could find. A relative of mine served in the VI Corps during WW2 in 5 campaigns in an artillery unit. I have a scrap of paper that says he was a Staff Sgt and "MOS Chief of section 864". Do you have any idea what "MOS Chief of section 864" means?
Thank you for your time, Russell

Hello Russell:
Glad you found me.
Basically a Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) is a job classification in use in the United States Army and Marine Corps. An artillery battery is the same as a company.
However I am not sure of the section designation, and therefore will post this on my forum tonight.
