  Manage or oversee assigned cadet administrative functions, accountability records, counseling documentation, training records, inspection results, disciplinary documentation, and related reports.
  Monitor and enforce standards involving uniforms, military appearance, rooms, barracks, formations, safety, maintenance, and cadet conduct. Assist with the development and execution of training, inspections, formations, ceremonies, physical fitness activities, and other Corps requirements.
