The Commandant of the Marine Corps is the highest-ranking uniformed officer that serves as the head of the United Commonwealth Marine Corps. Because the Marines are not a separate branch of the United Commonwealth Armed Forces but a semi-autonomous service of the United Commonwealth Navy, the Commandant is a three-star general (lieutenant general) instead of being a four-star officer like the other heads of each branch. The Commandant answers to the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Naval Staff, and is responsible for the organization, doctrine, policy, and planning of the Marine Corps as well as advising the president of the United Commonwealth, the National Security Council, the National Assembly, and other branches of government about all matters involving the Marine Corps. It is an administrative office that does not have any operational control over units in wartime but coordinates with theater commanders and the major commands of the Marine Corps to make Marine forces available for missions. The Commandant is also responsible for designating Marine Corps units for service to individual unified combatant commanders in peacetime.

The commandant is nominated by the president and must be approved by the United Commonwealth Senate for one term, typically no longer than 4–5 years, with exceptions being made in times of conflict or other national emergencies. According to the United Commonwealth Code, the commandant of the Marine Corps "is responsible for all matters relating to the performance of the Marine Corps to the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Naval Staff." He is also a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The working residence of the commandant is the Marine Barracks, Columbia City.
