Royal Commander

Royal Commander
The Royal Commander is the head of the Royal Army, and is also commonly referred to as 'General' more informally. As a member of the Royal Court this is partially a political position, and the Monarch may appoint anyone whom they wish to it. Traditionally it goes to a senior officer with field command experience, however, to ensure the military superiority and safety of the realm.

The Royal Commander advises the Monarch on matters of military policy, and implements the policies that the Monarch decides on. He is responsible for the planning and overseeing of all land based military operations, although he may delegate these to be a subordinate or lead himself.

The symbol of the Royal Commander is a gold chain with a sword hanging from it. In addition he, like the Royal Admiral and First Officer of the Crown, may bear on formal occasions a blue baton capped with gold, displaying anemones and the inscription in Old Tiberium Terror belli, decus pacis.
