TAC Commander

The TAC Commander (TC) is primarily responsible for the training and assignment of  TAC Officers.

The TC reports to the Deputy Commandant of Cadets, and is the direct report in the chain of command
for all TAC officers, however the TC is not in the cadet chain of command, beyond the basic responsibility
of all senior members and TAC officers to maintain cadet safety at all times.

The TC will assign TAC officers to their respective flights, as well as create training curriculum for the TACs
to be presented as part of RST.  In addition, the TC may be tasked with creating or facilitating TAC or related
senior-member training as part of the encampment.

The TAC is also ultimately responsible for the health and welfare of our TAC Officers - insuring their experience
is enjoyable and meaningful, and addressing any needs or concerns they may have during the activity.

Those interested in serving as TAC Commander should have previous 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 as a TAC Officer or similar role at ILWG Spring Encampment.

Due to the hands-on nature of this position, the TAC Commander 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 TAC Commander  will have a substantial role in the selection of all TAC Officers, including
solicitation of members to participate in the activity.

As the hands-on commander for our TAC Officers, the TAC Commander plays an important role in not only
the safety of our cadets, but also the encampment experience for some of our newest senior staff.  He will also
help in building future encampment staff from the TAC Officer pool.
