Field Master

Field Master is a very high Sangheili rank within the Covenant Army. It is one of the prestigious Zealot offices. Field Masters command at least one legion of troops.

Rank
The Field Master is seemingly equivalent to UNSC generals and colonels. The rank also appears 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.

Field Masters wear golden armor to distinguish them from other members of their rank; for example, it is impossible to tell a Zealot Field Master apart from a Zealot Ship Master based on their armor alone.
