It is commanded by a [[Marine Company Commander|Company Commander]] who is assisted by the senior [[non-commissioned officer]] known as the [[Marine Company Sergeant|Company Sergeant]]. In shipborne [[detachment]]s of company or larger strength the senior company commander would also be the detachment commanding officer [[Marine Commanding Officer|(MCO)]] with the [[Marine Executive Officer|Executive Officer]] being the senior of the company or platoon commanders.<br /> <br /> Approximately 40% of Obsidian Fleet shipborne detachments are considered to be company strength.{{clear}} <br /> <br /> ==Naming convention==<br /> Companies use an alphabetic designation, usually written as a single letter (A Company) but spoken phonetically (Alpha Company). Nicknames and commander names are often included. Examples include:<br /> <br /> Command Squad, 1st Platoon, &#039;&#039;&#039;A &quot;Howard&#039;s&quot; Company&#039;&#039;&#039;, 1 Battalion, [[SFMC 7 Regiment, The 7th Cav]]<br /> <br /> Squad One, 2nd &quot;Blue&quot; Platoon, &#039;&#039;&#039;B &quot;Bravo&quot; Company&#039;&#039;&#039;, 2 Battalion, [[SFMC 22 Regiment, The Royal 22e]]<br /> <br /> Sniper Squad, 3rd &quot;Recon&quot; Platoon, &#039;&#039;&#039;E &quot;Easy&quot; Company&#039;&#039;&#039;, 4 Battalion, [[SFMC 95 Regiment, The Rifles]]<br /> <br /> ==Organization==<br /> The textbook distribution of a company is four equal 32-man rifle or light infantry platoons. However, many detachment commanders use alternative organizations to better suit their detachment&#039;s role or needs.
