Deputy
Commandant of Cadets
The Deputy Commandant of Cadets (DCoC) reports to the Commandant and shares the majority of the
same responsibilities.
In years when the position is filled, the TAC
Commander reports to the DCoC.
Those
interested in serving as Deputy 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 Deputy 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.
Once selected, the Deputy Commandant will assist in the selection of
all Cadet Executive Staff positions,
line officers, and cadet support personnel, as well as input into
senior staff.
In years when there is no TAC Commander, the DCoC will also be
responsible for training and guidance of TAC officers
during RST as well as directing them during the activity.
