The Field Marshal's office is made up of those individuals that pertain to game play outside of the story line. They will play a huge role in end game material, but will be vital throughout the SWTOR experience. The Field Marshal's Office is comprised of the Raid Coordinator and the PvP Coordinator.
The roles and responsibilities of the each of the two coordinators will be covered in greater depth in their respective areas of the forums. The Office itself is an administrative tool that people can use to post ideas and information pertaining to either Raiding or PvP.
As stated above, the Field Marshal's Office is going to play a role throughout The Old Republic, regardless of rank as the warzones, instances and flashpoints can be played at almost any level. As more information comes out about the game and each individual map/instance, that information will also be posted in this portion of the forums.
The Office is meant to provide a unified and easily accessible area in which individuals can find information on either Raids or PvP events.
The Field Marshal himself will coordinate with, and ensure that both the Raid and PvP Coordinators have everything that they need and are fulfilling their positions satisfactorily. The Field Marshal's Office reports to the Council.
