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]}

-'''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 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.

-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]].
