This article is about the military rank. For the BattleMech, see Marshal.

Armed Forces of the Federated Suns

Marshals of the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns are usually given command of a front line Regimental Combat Team, a group of up to 15 regiments of highly motivated and trained soldiers headed by a 'Mech regiment of proven skills.

Marshals are often appointed by Field Marshals after they have proven their ability to plan and execute strategies and handle the massive communications problems associated with coordinating the activities of forces stationed across several worlds.

The equivalent naval rank is Fleet Admiral.

Marshals wear epaulets with four broad bands across the base.

Free Worlds League Military

In 3025, the Free Worlds League was divided into four military districts, two for the Lyran front and two for the Capellan front. These four districts were commanded by a Marshal, who had to implement the policies enacted by the LCCC. These officers were the highest ranking military officers in the FWLM; Only the Captain-General was higher. The naval equivalent of a Marshal is known as a Fleet Admiral.

Typically a Free Worlds League Marshal would wear the insignia of a General when they were in the field: a single strip of silver set into a single strip of gold, which is further mounted on a single purple stripe.
