Stabskorporal

Stabskorporal () will be the highest enlisted rank in the German Bundeswehr, that might be comparable to (senior) corporal (OR-4) in Anglophone armed forces. However, as distinguished from the corporal in Anglophone armed forces, the "Stabskorporal" belongs to the rank group of "enlisted men".
History.
The ranks "Korporal" and "Stabskorporal" will be introduced by Bundeswehr in October 2021 as the new most senior ranks for enlisted men, senior to Oberstabsgefreiter. Pay grade of Stabskorporal is "A6 mit Zulage" (with extra pay), that is the same pay grade as the NCO rank Stabsunteroffizier (OR-5).
Soldiers have to have served for at least one year in the rank of "Korporal" before being considered for promotion.
