若是，糊涂记得“麦帅”的元帅称号不是从美军军衔里来，而是他在担任菲律宾“督军”时菲授予的军衔。

Field Marshal of the Philippine Army
When the Commonwealth of the Philippines achieved semi-independent status in 1935, President of the Philippines Manuel Quezon asked MacArthur to supervise the creation of a Philippine Army. Quezon and MacArthur had been personal friends since the latter's father had been Governor-General of the Philippines, 35 years earlier. With President Roosevelt's approval, MacArthur accepted the assignment. It was agreed that MacArthur would receive a salary and allowances, and the rank of field marshal from the Commonwealth in addition to his major general's salary as Military Advisor to the Commonwealth Government of the Philippines.[90] It would be his fifth tour in the Far East. MacArthur sailed from San Francisco on the SS President Hoover in October 1935,[91] accompanied by his mother and sister-in-law. MacArthur also brought his long-time aide-de-camp, Captain Thomas J. Davis, as well as Major Dwight D. Eisenhower and Major James B. Ord, a friend of Eisenhower's, as his assistants.[92] Also aboard the President Hoover was Jean Marie Faircloth, an unmarried 37 year-old socialite. Over the next two years, the two were frequently seen together.[93] MacArthur's mother became gravely ill during the voyage and died in Manila on 3 December 1935.[94]

President Quezon officially conferred the title of field marshal on MacArthur in a ceremony at Malacañang Palace on 24 August 1936, and presented him with a gold baton and a unique uniform.[95] The Philippine Army was formed from universal conscription. The goal was to train 40,000 men per annum at 128 camps. Training was to be conducted by a regular cadre, and the Philippine Military Academy was created along the lines of West Point to train its officers.[96] MacArthur and Eisenhower found that few of the training camps had been constructed and the first group of 20,000 trainees would not report for duty until early 1937.[97] Equipment and weapons were "more or less obsolete" American cast offs, and the budget of $6 million was completely inadequate.[96] In 1937, MacArthur accompanied Quezon on a visit to Japan, Mexico and the U.S. Quezon was warmly welcomed in Mexico but virtually ignored in the U.S. MacArthur's requests for equipment for the Philippine Army likewise fell on deaf ears, although MacArthur and his naval advisor, Lieutenant Colonel Sidney L. Huff, were able to persuade the Navy to initiate the development of the PT boat.[98] Much hope was placed in the Philippine Army Air Corps, but the first squadron was not organized until 1939. By 1939, the U.S. had supplied the Philippines with $6 million of equipment.[99]
On 30 April 1937, MacArthur married Jean Faircloth in a civil ceremony.[100] Their marriage produced a son, Arthur MacArthur IV, who was born in Manila on 21 February 1938.[101] On 31 December 1937, MacArthur officially retired from the Army. He ceased to represent the U.S. as military adviser to the government, but remained as Quezon's adviser in a civilian capacity.[102] Eisenhower returned to the U.S. in 1939, and was replaced as MacArthur's chief of staff by Lieutenant Colonel Richard K. Sutherland, while Richard J. Marshall became deputy chief of staff.[103]
