Rank Structure


 * There is only one marshal for all services; this individual serves as the effective commander-in-chief of all Coalition military forces. Pay grade does not increase, though privileges and allowances for the office do.


 * Field marshals technically transcend all services. They are generally responsible for "fronts" - the Minnesota Front, the Ohio Front, et cetera. Pay grade does not increase, though privileges and allowances do.

Notes:


 * There is only one enlisted rank at this level in each branch. Pay does not increase, but privileges and allowances do.


 * There is only one holder of this rank in any unit of battalion size or larger; therefore, there is a battalion CSM, a regimental or brigade CSM, and a divisional CSM in a typical trooper's immediately viable chain of command.
