Which rank is indicated by two chevrons?

• A. Sergeant (SGT)
• B. Private (PVT)
• C. Corporal (CPL)
• D. Private First Class (PFC)

Answer: (C)

Rank insignia use stripes (chevrons) to show levels of enlisted leadership, and this item tests your ability to read those symbols. Two chevrons indicate the corporal rank, which is the first level of noncommissioned officer. That position carries responsibility as a small-unit leader and as a bridge between junior soldiers and higher NCOs. The three-chevron symbol that follows denotes sergeant, a higher leadership level, while lower ranks usually have none or fewer chevrons depending on the branch. In short, two chevrons point to the corporal rank.
