Commandant of Cadets

The Commandant of Cadets (CoC) is primarily responsible for the curriculum, classes, and other activities
needed to fulfill the requirements of CAPR 52-16.

The CoC reports to the Commander, and is the direct report in the chain of command for the entirety of the cadet cadre.

With the guidance of the Encampment Commander, State Director, and other staff officers, the Commandant
will work directly with the Cadet Commander and his staff to insure the encampment provides engaging leadership
and growth opportunities for the cadets, while at the same time meeting regulations.

The CoC will also be responsible for updating the Cadet Operating Instructions (OI), and any related documents or
orders.

Those interested in serving as Commandant should have extensive Cadet Program experience, including (but
not required) service as a cadet.  Current service as a leader in their local squadron is preferred, and previous
encampment experience is a must, preferably in a meaningful role at ILWG Spring Encampment.

Due to the hands-on nature of this position, the Commandant is required to participate in most planning activities from
January to April (and beyond), RST, and be available for the entire encampment, including (preferably) the
entirety of both Fridays.  In addition the Commandant will need to schdule seperate meetings with the Cadet Staff
to create and streamline the schedule and curriculm.

Once selected, the Commandant will have a substantial role in the selection of all Cadet Executive Staff positions,
line officers, and cadet support  personnel, as well as input into senior staff.

While the Encampment Commander is ultimately responsible for the entirety of the activity, his role is more logistical
and guidance, while the Commandant holds the key position with regards to the encampment experience of the
cadet participants who are ultimately the reason for the activity.
