Who is responsible for choosing the class leader and squad leader?

The training instructor is responsible for selecting the class leader and squad leader because these roles are critical for maintaining order, ensuring effective communication, and fostering teamwork throughout the training process. The instructor possesses the necessary oversight and experience to evaluate the skills and qualities required for leadership positions and can make a more informed decision based on the dynamics and needs of the class.

While input from class or squad members may be valuable in understanding the group’s preferences, ultimately, it is the responsibility of the training instructor to ensure that the selected leaders align with the program’s goals and maintain the integrity of the training environment. The instructor's authority and experience in leadership roles within this educational context enable them to choose individuals who can guide their peers effectively.
