Marshals are expected to contribute to the rules modiﬁcation process by suggesting improvements or commenting \n on proposed changes to Policies and Conventions. \n 3.1.3. The Structure of the Marshallate \n There are 3 basic levels of marshal: \n • Kingdom Level: (this includes the Earl Marshal, and all Deputy Earl Marshals (DEM)). \n • Group Level: (this includes the group Knight’s Marshal (KM) and all of his or her Deputies (DKM)). \n • Bottom Level: (this includes all Apprentice Marshals (MIT) and Crowd Control Assistants (CCA, Line Marshals, \n etc.) \n There is a DEM for each sanctioned marshal activity. They report directly to the Earl Marshal and to a Corporate \n Oﬃcer (if one exists in that role) and have no direct reports save any regional deputies that they may create to \n aid them. Their role is to oversee all aspects of that activity, recommend scenarios to the Group Level Marshals, \n recommend rules changes to the Earl Marshal, work with the DEM for Training to create and maintain appropriate \n training materials.
