Which insignia corresponds to Corporal (E-4)?

Which insignia corresponds to Corporal (E-4)?

• A. One stripe up
• B. One stripe up, Crossed Rifles
• C. Two stripes up, Crossed Rifles
• D. Three stripes up, Crossed Rifles

Answer: (C)

In the Marine Corps, rank insignia are read by the number of chevrons (stripes) and the symbol beneath them. Corporal, which is pay grade E-4, is shown with two chevrons up and a pair of crossed rifles beneath. That specific arrangement uniquely identifies a corporal on uniforms and dress gear. The other options don’t fit this rank: a single stripe up (even with rifles) signals a lower rank, while three stripes up with crossed rifles doesn’t match the standard insignia for corporal and aligns with a higher or differently styled rank. So the two stripes up with crossed rifles is the correct insignia for a Corporal.
