Commandant's Staff
The Commandant's Staff is directly responsible to the Commandant of Cadets, who is in charge of leadership and character development, military training, mentoring, counseling, discipline and accountability of the Corps of Cadets. The Corps of Cadets is organized based on the US Army Cavalry model -- a single cadet regiment comprising of three squadrons with four troops each.
For our cadet parents/guardians, your cadet's Troop Leadership Advisor (TLA) is your primary point of contact when you have questions or concerns, followed by your cadet's Squadron Leadership Advisor (SLA). We encourage your comments, feel free to contact us at the following phone numbers!
