Field Master

Field Master is a title given to a high-ranking Sangheili in command of ground forces. They are characterized by their gold-colored armor.

Background
The Field Master is seemingly equivalent to UNSC Colonels. They also appear to be the Sangheili equivalent of the Jiralhanae Chieftain.

Field Masters command entire armies of battalion strength or greater. Unlike their human analogues, Field Masters take a much more active role in combat, charging into the battle with their troops rather than giving orders from headquarters far from the conflict. They are in charge of all warriors of any race within that army, as well as all armor, air support, and matériel utilized by that army.

Similar to the title of Shipmaster, it is possible that the position of Field Master is not limited to any particular rank, and that the post may be assumed by Sangheili of different ranks, such as a Generals or Zealots.
