The College is headed by a commandant who is a general officer, and is organised into two wings, namely, the Headquarters Wing and the Instructional Wing. The Instructional Wing, headed by a Chief Instructor, is in fact the mainstay of the college. The Senior Instructor Training of the rank of Brigadier or Colonel is responsible for curricular management and programming of all related activities. The faculty of research and doctrinal studies, commonly known as FORADS, is headed by a director of the rank of Colonel or Brigadier with four research sections each being managed by a Directing Staff.

The Instructional Wing has three instructional divisions each under a Senior Instructor of the rank of Colonel. The Headquarters Wing provides administrative support to the Instructional Wing.
