The SFMC follows a slightly different rank structure than their naval counterparts. Below is a guide to the ransk and rates of the SFMC, as well as a comparison to equivalent naval ransk and rates.
Both the Starfleet Navy and the Starfleet Marine Corps use the same insignia to represent their officer and enlisted grades; however, the Marines use the traditional names for their grades just as the navy does, with only one exception, noted below.
Officers of the Star Fleet Marine Corps
GENERAL (O-10)- equavalent to Naval Admiral
LIEUTENANT GENERAL (O-9)- equavalent to Naval Vice Admiral
MAJOR GENERAL (O-8)- equavalent to Naval Rear Admiral
BRIGADIER (O-7)- equavalent to Naval Commodore
COLONEL (O-6)- equavalent to Naval Captain
LIEUTENANT COLONEL (O-5)- equavalent to Naval Commander
MAJOR (O-4)- equavalent to Naval Lieutenant Commander
Lieutenant Major (O-3) LIEUTENANT MAJOR (O-3)- equavalent to Naval Lieutenant ^
1ST LIEUTENANT (O-2)- equavalent to Naval Lieutenant, Junior Grade
2ND LIEUTENANT (O-1)- equavalent to Naval Ensign
^- Since there can only be one ship's captain aboard Starfleet vessels, the traditional Terran Marine rank "Captain" has been replaced by the rank "Lieutenant-Major" to avoid the necessity of the courtesy rank of "Major" to such officers on modern naval vessels. Lieutenant-Major is still company grade, not field grade.
NOTE- The Starfleet Marine Corps do not have warrant officers.

SERGEANT MAJOR (E-9)- equavalent to Naval Master Chief Petty Officer
