Estructura de Rangos de Comandantes
Progresión de rangos para personal adulto del CACC
Los comandantes adultos tienen rango en el Cuerpo de Cadetes de California por separado de los cadetes. Los rangos de adultos reflejan la insignia del Ejército de EE.UU. y siguen un camino de promoción ligado a la capacitación, el tiempo en el grado y la responsabilidad de la unidad.

Notas de Promoción
Haga clic en cualquier rango arriba para sus criterios específicos — cada uno muestra las vías de Comandante de Aula (Tabla 5-1) y Fuera del Aula (Tabla 5-2). Estas reglas generales aplican a ambas:
- Degrees must come from regionally accredited institutions; the GED is the only acceptable HS-diploma equivalent. Where a degree is required, conferral must be documented — units alone do not qualify.
- Time in grade begins at the effective date of appointment/promotion in the CACC.
- All Commandants of Cadets require the recommendation of their school board or administrative official and Brigade Advisor (para 5-5).
- Extra qualifications (Cadet Colonel in CACC, 3+ years military experience, instructor at 3 annual encampments, clear DSSS Basic Military Teaching Credential, or a Bachelor's with a clear teaching/administrator/PPS credential) may substitute up to 12 months of time in grade — one time only, for the first promotion after initial appointment.
- OCS credit: prior CACC service reaching C/MAJ or higher; a Federal or State Guard OCS program; 2+ years of college ROTC; or completion of the Commandant Leadership School.
- Promotion to CW5 and MAJ through COL requires a Bachelor's Degree (the only equivalent is an AA plus the professional-development requirements).
- ILE = clear Basic Drill Credential; MEMS Basic Badge + Emergency Training Ribbon; a professional certification; equivalent military PME; a graduate degree; 4 years as Brigade Advisor or HQ CACC staff officer; or 24 hours of HQ-provided professional development. Renews for each rank.
- WOCC equivalency: SME service at three annual encampments (grade SGT+) or 21 full days supporting CACC activities.
CR 1-4 promotes commandants on two tracks. A Classroom Commandant teaches one or more CACC class periods and must complete the Basic Course of Teaching Approaches (BCTA) at each level (Table 5-1). A Non-Classroom Commandant is any adult member who is not a classroom commandant — e.g., special projects, support, or HQ staff — and promotes without BCTA, often with different time-in-grade and recommending authorities (Table 5-2). Each rank below shows the criteria for both tracks.
