What is a cadet commander?

Cadet Commanders are senior cadets who are responsible for leading, managing, and training other cadets within a military, police, or youth cadet organization. They oversee daily operations, set standards, enforce discipline, and serve as role models for their peers. Cadet Commanders often plan and coordinate activities, mentor junior cadets, and act as a liaison between cadets and adult staff. Their leadership experience helps prepare them for future roles in military or civilian leadership positions.
