Chain of Command and Reporting

Chain of command

  1. Combat siege takes place on the armoured combat field, so falls under the jurisdiction of the armoured combat marshallate.
  2. Siege marshals will work under the marshal-in-charge of that activity - eg in a war scenario, the siege marshals escalate to the marshal-in-charge.
  3. Where there are siege-specific issues, the armored combat marshal at each level may request advice from siege marshals.
  4. Both the Kingdom Armoured Combat Marshal and the Kingdom Siege Marshal should be involved for escalated issues that relate to siege on the armoured combat field
  5. Because siege includes both combat and target siege, the Deputy Earl Marshal for Siege (Kingdom Siege Marshal) is a deputy of the Earl Marshal directly, not a deputy of the Kingdom Armoured Combat Marshal.

Reporting

Event reporting

  1. Armoured combat activities that include the use of siege should also be reported to the relevant siege marshal. This can be achieved by submitting a copy of the same report that is made to the relevant armoured combat marshal. If there is no equivalent siege marshal at group level, send the report directly to the Kingdom Siege Marshal.
  2. Injuries and accidents specifically related to siege crew or equipment should be reported to the Lochac Siege Marshal by the marshal-in-charge of the event, by the Group Siege Marshal, or any other marshal with reporting requirements.

Group reporting

  1. If a group has an office of Group Siege Marshal, this office reports quarterly on the same reporting schedule as their armoured combat counterpart.
  2. The Kingdom Siege Marshal will let you know if there are specific reporting requirements.

Kingdom reporting

  1. The Kingdom Siege Marshal reports quarterly to the Kingdom Earl Marshal and the Society Marshal’s Deputy for Siege.
  2. The content and format for reporting are set by the upline Kingdom and Society officers.
