-'''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.

+===Non-canon===
-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.
