Private

Lance Corporal

Corporal

Sergeant

Warrant Officer (these are ranks such as Company Sergeant Major, etc.........)

Answer 3

It's from the French word "caporal"--leader of the square. A Caporal would lead four soldiers into battle. They'd form into a square-shaped formation and the Caporal would stand in the middle.

Today's Corporal leads a small unit like a fire team, which is a four-man formation.
