About US Marine Corps Private First Class – PFC
Private First Class (PFC) in the USMC is the second lowest rank, positioned above Private (Pvt) and below Lance Corporal (LCpl). Holding the pay grade E-2, this rank was established on June 3, 1916. PFC paralleled the already existing Army rank to facilitate integrated operations, such as those in World War I’s American Expeditionary Force.
PFCs continue to develop their skills and understanding of the Corps’ values, often gaining more responsibilities and experience in preparation for advancement. The rank symbolizes a crucial phase in a Marine’s career, bridging initial entry and higher responsibilities.
