By-Laws
In the event of a conflict between:
A. MARCAC Bylaws
B. National Directive Publication(s)
This document (A or B) takes prescedence.
What is option A?
If individuals are working towards a common goal, but all doing so on their own and/or for their own benefit, they are not a team, but this instead.

What is a Primary Representative?
In CAP doctrine, a team will fail if it doesn't have one of these.
What is a leader?
One of the three purposes of CAC as established in the regulation entitled Cadet Program Management.
What is:
• Provide a forum where cadets gain leadership experience at higher organizational levels.
• Aid the commander in monitoring and implementing the Cadet Program.
