The following were the U.S. Marine Corps Rank Insignia of World War II. The ranks of the time were familiar to what we know today, but not identical.

​

For the Marine Corps ranks, World War II was a transitionary period between the World War I and Interwar-eras when different service branches (e.g. Ordnance, Quartermaster, etc.) had distinct ranks and rank insignia versus the Modern era where the rank structure is much more consolidated.

 

The Marine Corps rank structured was split into Officers, Warrant Officers, and Enlisted. The Warrant Officers included Commissioned Warrant Officers and Warrant Officers after 1943, while the Enlisted category also includes Non-Commissioned Officers.
