Specialist abbreviated SPC, is a non-commissioned officer rank in the Precursor Infantry Corps. Soldiers are given this rank after the completion of a leadership qualification course. They have the same pay grade as a Master Specialist. They are the lowest rank to officially command other troops. Their name, as does that of Lance-Specialist and Master Specialist derives from the fact that they are often the ones using heavy weapons in their squad. They are promoted after a total of one year of active service, and completing second leadership qualification course.
