The UMD, or Unit Manning Document, is the chart that displays the cadets in their respectable positions in the unit. Currently our UMD is empty, because we have yet to start a new semester, but you can still read up a bit on what the UMD is as well as looking over the Maximum Grade chart. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Unit Manning Document The Unit Manning Document (UMD) and Organizational Chart reflect the cadet corps organization. The UMD list specific positions by title, the maximum grade/rank authorized for that position, and the number of positions available. Appointment to a position does not mean you will automatically be awarded the maximum rank as listed in the UMD. Summer Leadership School graduates will normally start one grade lower than the maximum authorized grade while non-graduates will start two grades below maximum grade. Advancement to maximum grade is dependent upon your job performance, promotion test score, and the recommendation of your OIC. The Organizational chart breaks the functions of the unit down into specialized tasks and Chain of Command. Organizational Chart The organizational chart reflects the Chain of Command by a solid line connecting the functions or positions. Information, guidance, and decisions flow down the chain of command in oral and written instructions. Information and recommendations also flow up the chain of command. Information flow and coordination between lateral functions is also necessary for efficient staff functioning. Unless there is a free communication flow throughout the organization, the unit will quickly become ineffective. Leadership Positions Cadets must learn the duties and responsibilities of assigned positions. Promotion up the chain of command will be based on job performance and potential for more responsibility. Maximum Grade Cadet maximum grade is based upon position held and years in JROTC. Exceptions to this policy may be approved by the SASI/ASI as required. Maximum Grades
