Promotion to Corporal is competitive. From this point onward, promotion no longer depends on time in service.
Promotion to Corporal traditionally confers a large jump in authority and responsibility compared to promotion from [[Private]] through [[Lance Corporal]].


The UNSC Marine Corps rank of Corporal is equal in pay grade to the UNSC Army Corporal and Specialist. However, a Specialist is not a leadership role in the Army and must take commands from Corporals, even though they are the same pay grade.
While both branches share the rank of Corporal, the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] rank is equivalent to the UNSC Army [[Specialist]] rank, one rank under an Army Corporal.
 
The Marine Corps stresses leadership in all its ranks, so a Corporal is commonly seen as a Squad Leader which is a position usually held by Sergeants in the Army.
