United States Marines
Private First Class Rank Insignia Patch
Green on Khaki Desert Combat Uniform Insignia
A Rank of Private First Class is a Junior Enlisted Service member, with the grade of E-2 in the US Marines.
Private First Class is the second-lowest rank in the Marine Corps, ranking above Private and below Lance Corporal. A Private First Class in the Marines is equivalent in paygrade to a Private (PV2) in the Army, and is a full paygrade lower then an Army Private First Class because the Marine Corps only has one Private paygrade instead of the Army's two.
The rank of Private First Class was introduced by the Marine Corps following service in WWI in 1917 to mirror the Army's rank structure. Like their Army counterparts, a PFC in the Marines is expected to serve as a model for newly-enlisted troops and carry out the orders of their superior officers to the best of their abilities.
Private First Class is the 2nd rank in the United States Marine Corps , ranking above Private and directly below Lance Corporal.
