Editing Master corporal (section)

===Responsibilities===
{{Unreferenced section|date=August 2024}}
The rank, formally an appointment as a senior [[corporal]], gives the MCpl authority over all privates and corporals. As such, a MCpl is a first-level supervisor who is assessed on his/her ability to manage and develop subordinates. Given the structure of the Canadian [[infantry]] [[platoon]], the MCpl is roughly equivalent to the [[British Army|British]] rank of [[corporal]], second in command of an [[Section (military unit)|infantry section]]; due to the fact that MCpls often command sections and occupy various NCO positions, as well as the fact that trained leadership is retained at a lower level (section) than in other militaries, it is more realistic to equate MCpls with the [[British Army|British]], [[Australian Army|Australian]] and [[New Zealand Army|New Zealand]] rank of senior corporal and just under sergeant.{{according to whom|date=May 2025}}
