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 4,400
Midshipmen in the Brigade" and equates to a
dean of students at a civilian
university . The
commandant reports to the
superintendent . The commandant is assisted by a deputy commandant.
[1] Modern commandants typically hold the Navy
rank of
captain , but since 2002, three of the commandants have been a
United States Marine Corps
colonel . The current commandant is Captain Walter H. Allman III.
