Executive Officer (XO CC)

  • Role: The Executive Officer (XO) when in use supports the CO by acting as deputy, ensuring smooth operations across the unit, and assuming command in the CO’s absence. The XO assists with the implementation of strategies and coordination between command units.

Chairman (CM CC)

  • Authority: While the Chairman does not engage in day-to-day decisions, they have significant influence over the unit's strategic direction. The Chairman provides guidance on high-level decisions, particularly those that involve the unit’s long-term goals or require careful consideration of the unit’s core values.
  • Reserved Matters:
    • The sole authority:
      • to appoint a Commanding Officer.

    • To be consulted on and to approve of:
      • changes to the Code of Conduct.

Collaboration between the Commanding Officer and Chairman

  • Operational decisions are handled by the CO and Officers, who are responsible for the daily management within the unit. 
  • The Chairman’s input is required for reserved matters and long-term strategic decisions, ensuring that the unit’s direction remains aligned with its core mission and values.
