Introduction Just as the Marine Corps has organization and structure, so too does the MCJROTC. In this lesson you will learn about MCJROTC chain of command and organization.

Grade and Rank Each person in a military organization holds a certain rank or grade. As they obtain experience and training, they move up the chain of command. Leaders come in two categories: Commissioned officers Noncommissioned officers (NCOs)

Grade and Rank Commissioned officers, Second Lieutenant and up, receive their “commissions” from the President. Non-commissioned officers are enlisted personnel who have advanced above the first three entry-level positions. In the MCJROTC, cadet rank will parallel the rank of the actual Marine Corps.

(LE2-C5S1T2:LQ3) True or False: In the MCJROTC, the cadet rank parallels the rank of the actual Marine Corps. True False

Principles of Organization Unity of command means that there is only one officer who is responsible for the actions of the unit in question. Span of control concerns the number of subordinates who can be controlled or supervised by an individual commander. All orders and instructions from higher echelons to lower echelons should be issued through the chain of command.

MCJROTC Organization Military command is exercised through a series of leaders. The series of leaders along which the command follows is called the chain of command. The chain of command extends from the President of the United States to the last private in the last rank.
