Spc4 stands for Specialist 4, a US Air Force and Space Force rank abbreviation.

Space Force enlisted rank at pay grade E-4, the senior junior-enlisted grade before promotion to sergeant. Specialists 4 are experienced crew members and trainers in their specialty, though not yet noncommissioned officers.

Example: Spc4 Duarte will finish NCO preparation courses before her promotion to Sergeant next spring.

Usage notes

Equal to an Air Force Senior Airman (SrA) and an Army Specialist (SPC). Not to be confused with the Army's historical SP4, a Vietnam-era Specialist 4 at the same pay grade, which was renamed SPC in 1985. The Space Force writes Spc4 in mixed case, following Air Force style.
