Lord Commander Militant

The Lord Commander Militant is the supreme commander of all Astra Militarum forces in the Imperium of Man, the highest-ranking individual in the Astra Militarum, and the representative of the Astra Militarum on the Senatorum Imperialis. However, the rank is primarily a political position, and the Lord Commander Militant spends the vast majority of his time overseeing the bureaucracy of the Departmento Munitorum and engaging in political in-fighting with the other High Lords of Terra. The actual administration of military matters and Imperial Guard strategy has remained in the hands of the Lord Commander Militant's immediate subordinates, the five Lord Commanders of each of the Segmentae Majorum.
