Prior to 1992, the SAF followed the British model where corporals were [[non-commissioned officer]]s often holding the appointment of [[section (military unit)|section]] leader. Today, a corporal is not a [[Specialist (Singapore)|specialist]] (NCO-equivalent). Corporals are usually given higher responsibilities/ appointments as a section 2IC, or 2nd-in-command.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mindef.gov.sg/army |title=The Singapore Army – Home |publisher=Mindef.gov.sg |date=29 December 2004 |access-date=14 March 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202223056/https://www.mindef.gov.sg/army |archive-date=2 February 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref>
