Corporals are a bit uncommon. Basically, they're the juniormost noncommissioned officer. Most personnel go from Specialist directly to Sergeant. However, someone might be pinned Corporal first if they don't have enough time in grade/service for promotion to Sergeant, and their chain of command wants to promote them, or else they can't make the required number of points for promotion to Sergeant. As for their exact role, it depends in part of what exactly their occupation in the military is.
