Army Ranks are more than just who salutes whom.
Army rank is a badge of leadership.
Responsibility for personnel grows with each increase in rank.
A corporal is expected to fill a leadership role and has a higher rank than a specialist
even though both receive the same amount of pay.
The training includes the basic training phase where recruits are immersed in military culture
and values and are taught the core skills required by their service component.
Basic training is followed by a specialized or advanced training phase that provides recruits with a specific area of expertise or concentration.
For rank and precedence within the Army, specialist ranks immediately below corporal.
Among the services, however, rank and precedence are determined by pay grade.
Specialists who have demonstrated leadership abilities and are serving in Sergeant positions can be promoted to Corporals. This signifies that they hold a leadership position, and are held to the responsibilities and authorities inherent in that role. These individuals either do not have enough "Time in grade" to be promoted, or have not yet had a chance to go to the Primary Leadership Development Course.
