thrive within the Regiment of the Corps of Cadets, which is overseen by
the Commandant of Cadets and his/her staff. Based on the history and
composition of a standard Cavalry Regiment, the Corps of Cadets consists
of four squadrons of three troops each, and a Headquarters Troop (the
Regimental Band.)
The basic structure of
the NMMI Corps of Cadets is that of a cavalry troop, and cadets drill
under the supervision and training of their own troop leadership.
Cadets are appointed to commissioned and non-commissioned cadet rank on
the basis of demonstrated qualities of leadership and proficiency in
academics, military studies, leadership, and physical fitness. The
Regimental Commander is the highest-ranking cadet and commands the Corps
of Cadets through a regimental staff. At the squadron and troop levels,
cadet officers and their staffs share a major role in the
administration, leadership, and training of the Corps of Cadets.
