	Marshals exist in two forms for all types of SCA combat. First are the [[Field Marshals]] who are charged with maintaining safety and order on the field and performing armor inspections. Any individual in the society can learn to be a field marshal and does not need to be an active combatant to master the craft. It is, in the view of many fighters, important that anyone participating who does fight learn to be a Marshal. This serves two purposes, first it ensures an adequate supply of marshals at any event and second forces all fighters to keep current on rules and procedures. The second form of Marshaling is the [[Authorizing Marshal]] who will administer the qualification tests as required by the appropriate kingdom procedures before a fighter can recieve [[authorization]] to participate in tournaments and battles for their chosen style of combat. Authorizing Marshals can be chosen through a variety of methods but the predominate method seems to be appointment by the appropriate Kingdom level Marshal.

			As with so many things, this is a subject for [[InterKingdom Anthropology]]. Many Kingdoms do not make such distinctions between "Field" and "Authorizing" marshals.
