Corporal

Corporal is a military rank in use in some form by most militaries and by some police forces or other uniformed organizations. It is usually equivalent to Union Army Corporal E 4

The rank of corporal nominally corresponds to commanding a section or squad of soldiers. However, in the United Stars Army, a corporal is usually a fire team leader or second-in-command of a squad of soldiers. In the United Stars Marine Corps, corporal is the Table of Organization rank for a rifle fire team leader, plasma gun team leader, light mortar squad leader, and assault weapon team leader, as well as gunner on most larger crew served weapons (i.e., medium mortars, heavy Plasma Artillery, anti-tank missiles, and howitzers) and armored vehicles (e.g., tanks, light armored vehicles, and armored assault vehicles).
