CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

NAVY LEAGUE CADET COMPANIES

Section 1: Authorization

1810 - General

1810.1 NSCC units may form a NLCC company when a NLCC training ship cannot be formed because adult leadership/training facilities are not available. Units will submit requests to form a company to the Executive Director stating that NLCC cadets will be separately trained, and that the training can be accomplished without detriment to the NSCC training program. Concurring endorsements by the NSCC chain of command and the supporting activity are required. Cadet applicants must have reached their 11th but not their 14th birthday. Waivers to this policy must be submitted to the NSCC Executive Director.

1810.2 The Executive Director will provide written authorization to form the company.

Section 2: Administration, Training and Inspection

1820 - Administration

1820.1 An officer/midshipman will be designated as office-in-charge of the company. The officer-in-charge will be responsible to the NSCC unit commanding officer for the proper administration of the unit.

1821 - Training

1821.1 Companies will follow the NLCC Training Syllabus. All training, other than basic training such as saluting, drill, etc., will be conducted separately from NSCC training. NSCC cadets, E-4 and above, may instruct NLCC cadets in military drill and other subjects within their competence.

1821.2 NLCC cadets may not participate in NSCC advanced training. They may, however, participate in NSCC unit orientation trips provided airlifts or overnight shipboard training are not involved.

1822 - Inspection

1822.1 NLCC Companies will be inspected using the NLCC Inspection/Evaluation Guide if five or more cadets are assigned; however, a minimum of 15 cadets is required in order to be commissioned so the unit may be included in national award competition.

1822.2 NLCC Companies are not commissioned units and therefore they are not eligible to participate in national competition.

Section 3: Formation of a Training Ship

1830 - General

1830.1 When NLCC COmpanies reach and maintain 15 or more cadets, and support facilities and number of adult leaders permitting, they will charter as an NLCC Training Ship.

1830.2 Support facilities and number of adult leaders permitting, an NLCC Training Ship may begin forming with five cadets. After one year the unit must increase to ten cadets and within two years it must have 15 cadets, the minimum required to form and commission a Training Ship.
