Ranks in the LCAF
Junior and Senior Officer ranks very greatly by position. The biggest factor in the determination of what rank a commander can hold is the size of the unit with further consideration also given to time in service of that commander.
SENIOR OFFICERS
Promotions for all Senior officer ranks are based on time in service and time in grade. Any officer trying to attain the position of Command would have to attend a board. The board is made up of The Co-ordinator, 'House Leader or House XO and one Equal or greater ranking officer. The board will consist of at least 10 questions per officer sitting on the board and will be done in an oral examination. The questions will be taken from the House policy, unit policy, and House information documents. A score of 80% or above is required to pass the board. To attain any Senior Officer assignment completion of the Officers Advanced Course is required PRIOR to consideration for promotion. Non command positions can be promoted by the immediate commander for that position but they have to be approved by the next higher level commander above him or her in their chain of command.
