Our Squadron utilizes three interlinked chains of Command: Officers and Staff, Squadron Sponsoring Committee and Cadets. The chain of command is used to pass information as easily as possible up and down the squadron hierarchy. It can be compared to the rungs on a ladder that sit one atop another. The chain of command is simply the best way of organizing people so that orders and information get passed from one person to the next.

The Officers are responsible for the day to day operations of the squadron. The top of The Officer Chain of Command is the Commanding Officer (CO). The CO is also in charge of liaising with the Squadron Sponsoring Committee Chair, the Cadet Squadron Commander, and Air Cadet League.

The Squadron Sponsoring Committee is in charge of raising funds and supporting the Officers and Staff in daily operations. The Squadron Sponsoring Committee Chair Liaises with the Commanding Officer and the Air Cadet League.

The cadet chain of command is in charge of daily operations at the squadron (with officer guidance and support). The Cadet Squadron Warrant Officer acts a liaison between the officer staff and the cadets.

There is a vast amount of things that are required to happen in order to have the squadron run effectively. These 3 chains of command are crucial to ensuring information is passed along, training is effective, or to solve problems in a timely and efficient manner.

It is very important to follow your chain of command. They can answer your questions, offer guidance and support, and keep you informed.

(There is a higher chain of command outside the squadron for both the officers and the Parent Committee. Your contact with them should be only under extenuating circumstances. All questions and concerns can be addressed within one of the squadron chains of command.)
