The Commandant of the Academy, as of the former Royal Military College, is its commanding officer and is always a senior officer of field rank . Most Commandants serve for between two and three years and many go on to further significant promotions.
History of the role [ edit ]
The Royal Military College Sandhurst was originally led by a Governor (a figurehead), a Lieutenant Governor (in command of the college) and a Commandant (responsible for the cadets).[1] In 1812 the posts of Lieutenant Governor and Commandant were merged into the role of Commandant.[1] In 1888 the posts of Governor and Commandant were merged into the role of Governor and Commandant and in 1902 that single role was retitled Commandant .[1]
With the creation of the merged Royal Military Academy in 1947, the commanding officer continued to be called the Commandant.
