S:AAB squadrons worldwide follow a pseudo-military command structure.
The 59th Ready Reserves, to which the 41st is affiliated, suggests the
following rank structure for a unit's command staff:
- Colonel - Commanding Officer
- Lt. Colonel - Executive Officer
- Major
- Major
- Captain
- Captain
- Captain
Due to the small size of the 41st at the time of its formation, it was
agreed that all members shall start off with lower ranks than those suggested
by the 59th (above). Each member's rank will depend on the level of participation
and amount of contribution to the squadron, which will be reviewed
regularly by the command staff. The level of participation expected
of each member, on the other hand, will vary in accordance to the position held.
For instance, command staff personnel will assume more duties and responsibilities
than non-command members.
