A Master-at-Arms (MA) is a naval rating responsible for law enforcement and force protection, physical training, or a member of the crew of a merchant ship (usually a passenger vessel) responsible for security and law enforcement. In some navies a “ship’s corporal” is a position, not the rank, of a petty officer who assists the master at arms in his various duties.
