SQUADRON STAFF

The student squadrons serve as the Commandant’s direct link to student operational issues and provide feedback to the other elements of the school. Each squadron includes a squadron commander and two directors of operations. The remaining squadron-level staff in each squadron is composed of students.

The Squadron chain‐of‐command for in-resident students is:
