Korpraali (literally translated as "corporal") is actually equivalent to Lance Corporal and is the most senior rank of private. Alikersantti (literally translated as "sub-sergeant") is regarded as the lowest NCO rank and is the real equivalent to Corporal. Around 20% of conscripts are promoted to this rank after they have gone through 16 weeks of NCO training. An Alikersantti is usually the leader of a group of 4-7 men.
