===Change of command nomenclature=== | |||
Since its establishment the Service was only involved with the training of school leavers (Citizens) in market-based life sustaining skills (production) and hence the nomenclature was befittingly COMMANDANT. The term Commandant is associated with a defence department or otherwise only dealing in one leadership component, either training or health etc. | |||
With the diversity in its Roles and deployment it was found necessary to change the term to that of COMMANDER. On 29th December 2021, the title was overwhelmingly changed by the Council which is mandated by the President to administer lawfully the affairs of the Service. The title came into effect on 14th January 2022 through conveyance of authority by Ministry of Defence. | |||
