Corporal first class

Corporal first class (CFC) is the highest enlistee rank in the Singapore Armed Forces, ranking above corporal.[1]

Singapore Armed Forces' corporal first class insignia

The rank was first introduced in the Singapore Armed Forces on 1 September 1988.[2] At that time, its insignia was indicated by two downward chevrons on the arm, with a horizontal bar above the chevrons. However, the CFC rank was phased out from the NS ranks shortly after the revamp of the NS sergeant ranks in the 1990s.[3] Reintroduced in 2008, the CFC rank insignia was redesigned with an additional arc on top of the rank insignia for a corporal.[4]
