Field Master is a title given to a high-ranking Sangheili in command of ground forces. They are characterized by their gold-colored armor.[1]
Background
Field Masters seemingly hold roughly equivalent authority to colonels or generals in the UNSC Defense Force. They also appear to be the Sangheili equivalent of Jiralhanae Chieftains.
Field Masters command large forces 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, as well as all armor, air support, and matériel, utilized by their 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 Generals or Zealots.
During the Battle of Draetheus V in 2554, Merg Vol's ground forces were led by a number of Field Masters. These commander's locations were well hidden by Draetheus V's unique magnetic signatures, but ultimately this did not stop SPARTAN-IV Sarah Palmer from tracking them down and killing them. Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction has employed Field Masters during the Battle of Installation 03.
