Who is the Company Commander?

• A. CPT Parks
• B. CPT Miller
• C. 1LT Nguyen
• D. 2LT Smith

Answer: (A)

A company commander is the officer who leads a company and is typically a Captain. This role carries responsibility for the overall readiness, training, safety, and operations of the company, with the executive officer (often another Captain) assisting as second in command.

In this scenario, the lieutenants are not senior enough to command a company. Only two Captains are eligible, and the roster designates Parks as the person holding the Company Commander duties. The other Captain would usually serve as the executive officer, while the lieutenants would handle platoon-level duties or staff roles. So Parks is the correct choice because the position described aligns with his assignment.
