Mareşal/Büyükamiral (Marshal) is the highest rank in the Army of Turkey, the Turkish Armed Forces. It is the equivalent of a Field Marshal in other countries. The rank of Mareşal/Büyükamiral can trace its origins to the Ottoman Empire[citation needed] and to the military of Persia, where the rank was bestowed upon senior commanders upon order of the ruling Sultan. The word "mariscalcus" in Latin, had parts from the old-German words meaning horse and servant. The corresponding rank in the Turkish Navy is known as Büyükamiral.
