<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The commander stays in command until a new commander is appointed. It depends on the division, brigade and/or battalion commander&#39;s policy. In 2003 we had an O-6 battalion commander because the brigade commander (now GEN Milley) had a policy of no battalion change of commands while being deployed. We also had a Major as a company commander because his company was a cross fill from another MACOM. All that said there is a responsibility when possible the higher command needs replace a company commander upon being promotion to Major. This sometime takes time I stayed in command 4 months till a new commander was available.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>&quot;Is an updated assumption of command required after Commander is promoted to a new rank but still the company commander or is it still valid?&quot;<br />It is as valid as the service or resource requiring it says. <br />I can see a defense lawyer in a Drug trial CM case making hay of it. (some guy named Maj Marquez authorized a search of my clients property, as defense exhibit 1 clearly shows, the only person with authority in Bronco 2,2,2 company to authorize a search was CAPTAIN Marquez, thus the search was invalid)<br />I can also see a trial Judge stifling his anger, and telling the defense attorney to (sit down, thanks for a nice try, is your client ready for his convicti..........err, Trial or not?)<br /><br />So while id guess, and it is a guess, no legal experience to say its true.. Id guess the assumption of command is still valid, Id likely ask the commander to sign a new one and distribute it as required to those agencies that require it.<br />Property book, MP, Drug lab, NET facilitators, ect.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I can&#39;t speak to today&#39;s regs, but in my time the answer was no. The orders read &quot;the undersigned assumes command...&quot; That means the person who signed the order, i.e. The incoming commander. The rest, like CPT, IN Commanding is simply the signature block. Plus, you can&#39;t assume command of the same unit twice unless you relinquished command. Think of the admn nightmare it would create if assumption of command orders changed. <br /><br />I remember seeing memos from S1 coming out saying something like &quot;the signature block of the commanding officer is changed from Joe Blow, LTC(P), IN, Commanding to Joe Blow, COL, IN, Commanding, effective 1 May 1982. But never did I see a new Assumption of Command Order. Afterall, the date the officer assumed command did not change. Simply an administrative detail did.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No. Unless he just wants the assumption of command orders changed. The delegation of authority form with signatures only changed when delegation changes
