The Commander also holds the highest rank within the Marine Corps, which is Lieutenant General. Assisting the Commander of the Marine Corps is the Deputy Commander of the Marine Corps, who holds the rank of two-star marine general.
The position was formerly known as Commandant of the Marine Corps (, abbreviated as ), with the position being held by a Marine Major General, which was previously the highest rank within the Marine Corps.
