Egyptian Marshal Ikeni Simut Khemepi Tinyuru, Head of the Army
In Egypt, the Supreme Officers of State are traditional ministers of the Crown who either inherit their positions or are appointed to exercise certain largely ceremonial functions or to operate as members of the government. Separate Great Officers exist for Upper Egypt, Lower Egypt, Nubia, and formerly for Punt, though most now serve the empire as a whole.
