The Corps of Midshipmen is divided into two battalions and 12 companies (2015). Eight companies are made up primarily of deck license option cadets , two of engineering license option cadets , and two "victor" companies. Victor companies comprise cadets of mixed programs and are either 25 years or older, are married, or have a bachelor's degree or prior military experience. Victor company cadets are allowed to live off campus and participate less in regimental activities. They are generally regarded to set the example for other cadets with their age and experience.
