Line 130:
Each Detachment is commanded by a [[Staff Noncommissioned Officer|Staff Non-Commissioned Officer]], being one of the few instances where an enlisted Marine may hold the title of "commander". Generally between the ranks of [[Staff Sergeant#United States|Staff Sergeant]] and [[Master Gunnery Sergeant]], Marine Detachment Commanders serve two tours, which generally last 18 months each. Unlike their subordinates, however, Detachment Commanders may be married. The minimum detachment size is seven MSGs (Marine Security Guards) and one detachment commander. This allows for posts to be manned at all times while allowing each of the Marines to conduct other routine training, internal management of the detachment and have some time off.
A Marine Security Guard usually serves three 12-month tours of duty. Marine Security Guard "watch standers" are enlisted Marines from the rank of [[Private First Class#United States|Private First Class]] to Staff Sergeant. <ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.mcesg.marines.mil/CommandRegions/BioView/tabid/10101/Article/511208/col-rollin-d-brewster.aspx|title=Col.
