'''Colonel'''<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 58'', ''"... pinned with the eagle insignia of a colonel".''</ref> is the highest field grade [[commissioned officer]] rank of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]], [[UNSC Army]], and [[UNSC Air Force]], equal in rank to a [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] in the [[UNSC Navy]]. The rank insignia appears to be the same as the modern U.S. counterpart; one silver eagle.


Given that other ranks command the same unit groups as their modern day U.S. counterparts do, it is highly probable that a UNSC Colonel commands an Air Force wing, Marine [[regiment]] or an Army brigade. This has yet to be observed in the Halo universe. A Colonel may also serve as a staff officer for higher unit groupings, such as divisions.
'''Colonel''', abbreviated to '''COL''', is a [[commissioned officer]] rank of O-6 in the [[United Nations Space Command]] [[Unified Ground Command]] (UNICOM) [[UNSC rank structure|rank structure]]. It is preceded by [[Lieutenant Colonel]], and subordinate to a [[Brigadier General]].{{Ref/Book|Id=OSFMP8-142|OSFM|Section=PART 8: UNSC ORGANISATION, UNICOM Ranks|Page=142-143}}

In a draft version of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} page in ''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo]]'' a Colonel [[Barry Bizzell]] was mentioned, said to be the [[Commanding officer|commanding officer]] of the [[3rd Battalion 67th Marines]]. Ultimately, Col. Bizzell, and the battalion he was said to have commanded, were cut from the final published version of ''Halo: Warfleet''.{{Ref/Site|Id=WF|URL=https://www.booktopia.com.au/halo-warfleet-343-industries/prod9781681196633.html|Site=Booktopia.com.au|Page=Halo: Warfleet|D=19|M=3|Y=2021|LocalArchive=:File:WF EarlyAutumn Page.jpg}}
