Field Marshal

Field Marshal

Union Army and Union Marines- Pay Grade O 11

This rank and position was part of the Union Armed Forces rank reform of 4000 and approved by the Assembly. It was created to reflect the increased Command - and Fleet command needs, due to the immense size of the Armed forces and the area of spaceto be protected.

Union Army Field Marshal is a five Star Rank and commands the Army Assets of an entire Sector.

The Union Marines Field Marshal commands the Marine Assets of an entire Sector.. Marine field Marshals are nicknnamed "Quinque" (five) By tradition started by the first Union Marine Field Marshal, they must be Orbital assault verified and combat ready and proficcient. Even Field Marshals must maintain a working Armor and keep their weapon skills to requirements. Union Marine Field Marshals are known to drop with their troops (during second wave) and take forward command. It is called the Richard Stahl Doctrine.. Even the Commandant of the Marine Corps must know what the lowest recruit knows and eat, drink and wear what they do..

The Army feels this is the wrong approach and keeps their Marshals well behind fighting lines.
