Corporal-level code in NATO's rank table, equal to US pay grade E-4: Army specialists and corporals, Navy petty officers third class, Air Force senior airmen and Marine corporals. British Army, Royal Marines and RAF corporals are OR-4.
Example: NATO's table places the British corporal and the US Army specialist together at OR-4.

The British Royal Navy's leading rate also falls at OR-4. Because US specialists and corporals share the code despite different authority, NATO staffs often look at appointments rather than codes alone when assigning leadership roles.
