Corporal First Class (CFC) is the highest
enlistee rank in the Singapore Armed Forces, ranking just above corporal and below third
sergeant.
It is awarded to well-performing corporals at the top tier of
their cohorts who have held the rank for at least six months and is
by recommendation only to the formation or division HQ. CFCs may be
given higher appointments or other equivalent responsibilities.
The rank was first introduced on 1 September 1988. At that time
the CFC rank insignia was indicated by the usual two stripes on the
arm, but with a horizontal bar above the two stripes. Reintroduced
in 2008, the CFC rank insignia now is an additional arc on the top
compared to corporal rank insignia.
