Duties of Officers
COMMANDANT
The Detachment Commandant's position is critical to the success of the Detachment and to the Marine Corps League. The ability to lead will be decisive to the success of the Detachment. The ability to delegate and monitor results will be crucial to time management -- getting things done through others and achieving desired results. To effectively promote the Detachment and League so that it will develop positive image and attract members. Looking out for the best interests of Marines (of all era's, ranks, and units), in and out of the League, is a thread which makes this organization unique among veterans and other Marine organizations
The Commandant should also be aware of the activities and programs of other Detachments within the Department. If a Detachment is having problems, or has questions, the Commandant leads the way for his/her Detachment to lend a hand and help out. By the same token, we should work in an environment where teamwork is a working concept and feel free to call on other Detachments for ideas, assistance and support, or general communication
SENIOR VICE COMMANDANT
The Senior Vice Commandant’s position is important to the Detachment for three general reasons: To assist and support the Commandant; to prepare for succession to the Commandant’s office and to back up the Commandant when absent. The SVC should be a major contributing force to the success of the Detachment.

The SVC should be person in the detachment who knows What awards are available, who can issue or recommend them and why they are given (Enclosure (4) Marine Corps League Awards ).
