'''Field Master''' is a title given to a high-ranking [[Sangheili]] in command of ground forces. They are characterized by their gold-colored [[Sangheili combat harness|armor]].<ref name="flood">'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 217''</ref>


==Background==
==Overview==
Field Masters seemingly hold roughly equivalent authority to [[colonel]]s or [[general]]s in the [[UNSC Defense Force]]. They also appear to be the Sangheili equivalent of [[Jiralhanae]] [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|chieftains]].
===Covenant===
Field Masters consist of select Generals, tasked with taking charge of temporarily-assembled large military groups such as [[warhost]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} They operate at a similar command level to the aforementioned Generals, or [[Shipmaster]]s.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc11|Enc11|Page=135}} They are typically signified by their golden [[Sangheili harness|harnesses]].{{Ref/Reuse|TF6}}


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.
===Covenant remnants===
The title of Field Master was continued by several [[Covenant remnants|remnant factions]] of the defunct empire, including [[Merg Vol's Covenant]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]]. [[Merg Vol]] deployed a number of Field Masters during his [[Battle of Draetheus V|invasion]] of [[Draetheus V]] in [[2555]], using the unique magnetic signatures of the planet to hide their location. Ultimately, they were hunted down and assassinated by [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IV]] [[Sarah Palmer]]. These Field Masters were outfitted with {{Pattern|Nakata'vho|plasma repeater}}s.{{Ref/Level|HSA|Mission 8: Hunt for the Sangheili Command}} The [[Battle of Installation 03]] saw [[Jul 'Mdama]] deploy several Field Masters armed with {{Pattern|M'tara|focus rifle}}s onto the surface of [[Installation 03|Gamma Halo]].{{Ref/Level|HSS|???}}{{Citation needed}}


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 [[Sangheili General|Generals]] or [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealots]].
