Lance corporal

Lance Corporal is the third enlisted rank in the UNSC Marine Corps.

It is equal in rank to Crewman in the UNSC Navy and Private First Class in the UNSC Army. A Lance Corporal is above a Private First Class, but under a Corporal in the Marine Corps. In a formal setting, as with Marine Corps tradition, the entire rank is said before the persons name. It is never shortened to just "Corporal" or "Lance".

Lance Corporals fill the fire team billets for the Marine Corps because of the Marine Corps policy of putting lower ranks in leadership roles.
