A Field Marshal is the highest rank in the army. It is a prestigious position, usually awarded to senior military leaders who have shown exceptional leadership and service. The title of Field Marshal is often given during or after major wars, and it is a symbol of a leader’s immense contribution to the military. In India, for example, Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw is a well-known figure who was given the title for his leadership during the 1971 Indo-Pak war. The title is not regularly awarded and is reserved for those with a lifetime of service and achievements in the military.
