[[File:G-e3.png|thumb|right|Lance Corporal]]
Lance Corporal is the third enlisted rank in order of seniority in the Starfleet Marine Corps, just above [[Private First Class]] and below [[Corporal]]. It is not a non-commissioned officer rank. Promotion to Lance corporal is based on time in-grade, time in service, and the conduct of the marine. Further promotion to the NCO ranks ([[Corporal]] and above) is competitive and takes into account the individual service record of the marine. There can only be a certain number of Corporals and [[Sergeants]] in each MOS, so even with a qualifying cutting score promotions may be delayed due to an excessive number of Corporals occupying billets in a certain MOS.

Lance Corporal is equivalent in rank to [[Crewman]].
