The '''Lord Commander Militant''' is the highest field rank in the [[Imperial Guard]]. They are in charge of whole groups of Imperial Guard regiments and are provided by the [[Departmento Munitorum]]. Their recommendation is based on family ties and previous experience and service. They also receive extra training in order to be able to handle the vast numbers of men given to their command. A general staff is formed around the Lord Commander Militant from the regiments tithed to his command and there is only ever one Lord Commander active in a sector. There are many other names given to this rank, one of which is '''Lord General Militant'''. There is only the rank of [[Warmaster]] (or the various other identical titles associated with the position such as [[Lord Solar]]) which is above Lord Commander Militant. ==Sources==* [[Codex: Imperial Guard (3rd Edition)Imperial_Guard_Hierarchy#2nd Codex|Codex: Imperial Guard (3rd Edition, 2nd Codex)]]*[[Codex Imperialis]] ==Related Articles==*[[Imperial Guard]] [[Category:Imperial Guard and PDFs]][[de:KriegsherrLord_General_Militant]]
