Feldmarschall-Leutnant (in English: Field marshal lieutenant), short FML (historically also Feldmarschall-Lieutenant, or Feldmarschallleutnant, however as to official terms from 1867 by the Austrian military administration always Feldmarschalleutnant) was a distinguished military rank. It was introduced contemporary with the Field Marshal rank in the 17th century. In German speaking countries the imperator usually appointed a Submashal or Lieutenant for the support of the field marshal. In this function as the personal deputy to the field marshal he was, among others, in charge of supervision, inspection and control of supply, storage, streets and guards.
