It should come as no surprise that the greatest number of members of Militarum Auxilium Christi live in the Highlands. The Guard Tertiaries do not as a rule serve in the Wilds, though they may from time to time retreat or even serve at Guardian Bases or Oratories.
In the world Tertiaries are organized into Chapters, each of which has a Chapter Master, Treasurer, Chaplain and Quartermaster. Various other positions are filled for short periods of time, but basically consist of committee chairman, whose groups are committed to specific tasks, such as fundraising or recruitment.
The Chapter Master leads the group and though elected from among the membership, must be ratified by Grand Chapter.
The Treasurer is responsible for funds raised by the organization and their disbursement to both the local Chapter and the Quartermaster.
The Chaplain is a clerical member of the Knights of St. Bix and must be a priest.
The Quartermaster is responsible for all of the gear which is seconded to the Knights.
Typically specific Chapters or groups of Chapters support individual Units or Bases used by the Knights.
The Grand Chapter is located at Primus Frost, in what is now the Highlands. It is led by the Grand Master of the Secular Order. The Grand Master must have once served under temporary vows in the Order of Knight Guardians. He may be be either married, single or under a vow of temporary or perpetual Chasity.
The Grand Chaplain is the senior cleric seconded to the Third Order and is under the jurisdiction of the Chaplain General.
Other positions may be held by women, and several lay and religious women have held senior positions as both Grand Treasurer and Grand Quartermaster.
