Cadet Lance Corporal

Lance Corporal is the first rank earned by cadets. Promotions to Lance Corporal are made at the discretion of the Detachment Commander.

There is no set criteria in order for a cadet to be promoted to Lance Corporal, however cadets being considered for promotion usually have at least one year's experience, hold a star level of at least 1 star, and may take part in an NCO Cadre before they are promoted.

Lance Corporal is the first cadet NCO rank and as such is at the bottom of the cadet chain of command. Lance Corporals may have small responsibilities at a detachment level as well as general leadership responsibilities. They usually report to Corporals in their detachment.
