Master Specialist (MSP) is the highest attainable enlisted rank. It represents the pinnacle of experience, knowledge, both of SOP and skill. MSPs do not have any additional administration responsibilities yet are a vital asset to often less-experienced NCOs, SNCOs and Officers and will often act as enlisted advisors.

Corporal (Cpl)

As the entry-level NCO rank, Corporal (Cpl) is a Junior NCO rank (JNCO) suitable for new and developing leaders to learn and develop before being promoted further.

Corporals are unit leaders and the most numerous of all NCOs in the task force. Like Sergeants, Corporals are responsible for individual training, personnel matters and the general status of their teams. Working as the 2IC (Assistant Section Commander) to a Section Commander, Corporals carry out the duties of the ASC, and in the case that the SC is absent, assume those as well.

On operations and deployments, Corporals are 2ICs, Fireteam and Squad Leaders, and also frequent training instructors..

As an NCO they continually demonstrate a positive attitude, maturity and a willingness to not only volunteer their leadership, but to provide their valued feedback and input both in game and out.
