Template:Covenant Rank Infobox Field Master is a very high position/office for the Covenant Army as it is in the Zealot offices.[1] Field Masters command at least one legion of troops.
Rank
The Field Master is equivalent to the UNSC Marine "General" or "Colonel". It also appears to be the Sangheili-equivalent of the Jiralhanae Chieftain.
Field Masters command entire armies, battalion strength or greater. Unlike human "Generals", Field Masters take a much more active role in combat, charging into the battle with their troops rather than giving orders from 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.
Appearance
So far, only Zealots have been featured as Field Masters as Field Master is a Zealot rank. Although it is highly possible that an Ultra would be a Field Master when there are no Zealots.
In the Fleet of Retribution a Special Operations Elite or even a Major may have been forced to take on the role of Field Master. They have no changes in their 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). Should other ranks take on the position of Field Master, it is likely little or no changes to their armor would be made, perhaps it will never be.

Trivia
- All Zealots one encounters throughout the entire Halo series are Field Masters, except the one encountered on the level the Truth and Reconciliation in Halo: Combat Evolved (which was a Zealot Ship Master), as Field Master is one of the Zealot Offices Ranks.Template:Fact
