A DCMS '''''Tai-shu''''' is the commanding officer of all military forces in a Draconis Combine Military District. This rank was formally recognized during Theodore Kurita's reforms of the DCMS. Prior to that time, the term "Warlord" was a position instead of a rank.<ref>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 131</ref>

Though a ''Tai-shu'' can be from either the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] or [[Draconis Combine Admiralty]], they are expected to act in the best interests of both services. Given their immense power, a ''Tai-shu'' reports directly to the [[Draconis_Combine_Mustered_Soldiery#Coordinator|Coordinator]] or ''[[Kanrei]]''.

The rank insignia of a ''Tai-shu'' is based on that of a ''[[Tai-sho (rank)|Tai-sho]]'': A ''katakana'' number 5 on a background appropriate to the bearer's branch of service. The ''Tai-shu'' insignia, however, adds a bar under the insignia.
