The '''Field Master'''<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 217</ref> is equivalent to the [[UNSC]] [[Marine]] "General" or "Colonel.". Field Masters command entire armies, battalion strength or greater. Unlike human "Generals", Field Masters take a much more active role in combat, as in charging into the battle with their troops rather than giving orders from a HQ miles away from the conflict. They are in charge of all warriors of any race within that army, as well as all armor, air support, and material utilized by that army. An example of this is [[Noga 'Putumee]], who led forces against the humans on [[Installation 04]].

Zealot Field Masters usually worked alone in both games. Waiting you for to kill everyone else, then they'd attack by themselves. In [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], Zealot Field Masters were a fairly common sight on any difficulty, usually guarding places of importance. On average there were probably two to three Zealots on any one map. Although, Field Masters in [[Halo 2]] were much more sneaky, and only appeared on [[Legendary]].
 
==Armor==
The armor of a Field Master is like all Zealots - a gold or yellow color. It's possible that [[Ultra Elite|Ultra]]s can attain this position, but they would wear the white Ultra armor.

In Halo 2, during the levels [[Sacred Icon (Level)]] and [[Quarantine Zone (Level)]], the player comes across a band of elites being led by [[Rtas 'Vadumee]]. He appears to be the highest ranking elite there, before [[Arbiter (character)]] arrives, and thus probably would've had the title "Field Master".

However, it is also true that perhaps a Zealot was present at some other location, but never featured, and 'Vadumee's unit was merely a detachment of his (or perhaps 'Vadumee had a Zealot superior that was killed during the battle and thus he temporarily took over the role of field master).

[[The Arbiter]] could also be looked at as a rank that could potentially hold the title of Field Master. [[Councilor]]s, should one of them ever decide to take part in military operations, would probably also hold the title of Field Master, even having Zealots being subordinate to them.

Avu Med 'Telcam, a former-Field Master of the Covenant.

Field Master is a title given to a high-ranking Generals in the Covenant military.[1] The title is one of exclusive Sangheili domain due to the Sangheili command over the Covenant's now-defunct armed forces.[2]

Overview[edit]

Covenant[edit]

Field Masters consist of select Generals, tasked with taking charge of temporarily-assembled large military groups such as warhosts.[2] They operate at a similar command level to the aforementioned Generals, or Shipmasters.[3] They are typically signified by their golden harnesses.[1]

Covenant remnants[edit]

The title of Field Master was continued by several 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 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 Sarah Palmer. These Field Masters were outfitted with Nakata'vho-pattern plasma repeaters.[4] The Battle of Installation 03 saw Jul 'Mdama deploy several Field Masters armed with M'tara-pattern focus rifles onto the surface of Gamma Halo.[5][citation needed]
