In the California Cadet Corps, brigade staff refers to the group of cadets and adult leaders responsible for managing and supporting the operations of a brigade. They handle tasks like planning, training, administration, and logistics to ensure the brigade functions effectively. Their roles are outlined in the regulations to maintain structure and efficiency within the organization.
Brigade staff is comprised of the best and brightest cadets from every unit in the brigade. Selected for their leadership skills and dedication, these cadets often hold higher ranks and play a crucial role in ensuring the brigade's success through teamwork and expertise.
You can explore more details in the official regulation document:
