Tech 5 was a special rank above a Corporal(2 stripes on the sleeve). The Tec 5 insignia was 2 stripes with a "T" under the stripe.
Tech 4 was 3 stripes and a "T".
The "T" indicates the Technical rank which meant the soldier's promotion was based on his training and the rank did not carry any leadership responsibilities.
This rank was discontinued after WW2 and the "Specialists" rank was introduced.

What is tec 5 in world war2?
Tech 5 was an enlisted rank in the US Army, the equivalent of a corporal. A Tech 5 wore on his sleeve two chevrons. like a corporal, but his had a large capital "T" below the chevrons. The pay was the same as a corporal, and the man was usually called "Corporal Smith" and not "Tech 5 Smith". "Tech" was short for technician, and the rank was given to men trained as specialists in various technical jobs, like radiomen, mechanics, and so on. The next step up was a Tech 4, the equivalent of a sergeant, with three chevrons with a T below.
