The first real military rank with command responsibilities, a '''Corporal''' is frequently responsible for leading infantry [[Squad|squads]], work details, acting as assistant vehicle commanders, or administrative sections. The naval equivalent does the same thing, assisting a [[WarShip]] gunnery officer or naval work detail.

Prior to the [[Andurien Secession]] in [[3030]] and the passage of the [[Military Reorganization Act]] of [[3046]], the [[Duchy of Andurien]]'s [[Defenders of Andurien]] regiments also used the rank of '''''thegn''''' (pronounced ''thane'').

As is the case with most enlisted ranks, the [[Clans]] do not use the rank of Corporal.<ref>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 11</ref> [[Point Commander]] is the first official level of command authority. However, in certain formations that consist of a large number of warriors (''solahma'' conventional [[infantry]] platoons or [[WarShip]] crews for example) or when dealing with [[Inner Sphere]] military forces, a clear chain of command is needed. As such a senior Warrior can be designated by the Point Commander as '''Point 1''', '''Point 2''', '''Point 3''', '''Point 4''', or '''Point 5'''. The lowest of these ranks, '''Point 1''' and '''Point 2''' could be considered equivalent to an Inner Sphere Corporal.
