JLBC: Leadership Roles

The Assistant Squad Leader's job is to:

• Set the example as a good cadet and help the rest of the squad be

good cadets as well

• Leads the squad when the Squad Leader is not present and helps

the Squad Leader when they are present

• As a peer, the Assistant Squad Leader knows the cadets in their

squad better than anyone and uses that knowledge to help them

when they are struggling.

• Hone their skills to perform well when assigned to a squad

leader or other leadership position

Another entry-level position for a sharp cadet is the JLBC Guidon Bearer. While not a leadership position, it is an honor to be the Guidon bearer for a unit. This JLBC Cadet stands in front of the company alongside the JLBC commander (or the JLBC commander's representative) and is the rallying point for Cadets to fall into formation when the order is given. The Guidon Bearer leads by example and should be the unit's sharpest JLBC junior Cadet.
