'''Colonel'''<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 58; "... pinned with the eagle insigne of a colonel".</ref> is a [[commissioned officer]] rank of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] and [[UNSC Army]], equal in rank to [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] in the [[UNSC Navy]]. Their rank insignia appears to be the same as their modern U.S. counterparts, one silver eagle.
 
Given that other ranks command the same unit groups as their modern day U.S. counterparts do, it is highly probably that a UNSC Colonel commands a regiment or a brigade. This has yet to be observed in the Halo universe though. A Colonel may also serve as a staff officer for higher unit groupings, such as divisions.
 
==Trivia==
The rank of colonel is one of the oldest in existence, dating as far back as the time of the Roman Empire.
