If the lord himself is not in command, then it falls to his marshal (or general) to lead the troops. The marshal is appointed by the lord and is often a noble man with extensive combat experience, training and knowledge. The marshal can, in turn, appoint captains to be in command of the various units of the army. The captains then appoint sergeants to keep the soldiers in line and issue tactical orders.
Additional personnel in armies include physicians, cooks, pages, squires, servants and aides de camp. The latter is typically a personal servant to the lord or the marshal of the army, handling administrative affairs and conveying messages throughout the army.
