Commandant of midshipmen

The commandant of midshipmen is the second-in-command at the United States Naval Academy. According to the Naval Academy, the commandant of midshipmen is "responsible for the professional development and day-to-day activities of all 4,500 Midshipmen in the Brigade" and equates to a dean of students at a civilian university." The commandant reports to the superintendent. Modern commandants typically hold the Navy rank of captain. The current commandant is Captain Thomas R. Buchanan.
