Colonel[1] is a field-grade commissioned officer rank of the UNSC Marine Corps, UNSC Army, and UNSC Air Force, equal in rank to a 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 a regiment or a 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 (pronounced KUR-nal) is a military rank, the equivalent of which is used by the service organizations of many civilizations. As a traditional grade, colonel is the most senior line officer rank of a fighting organization, below the flag rank of brigadier general and senior to the rank of major. In comparison to naval ranking systems, this rank is equivalent to the naval captain rank, the Romulan Star Empire's riov grade, the Ferengi Alliance's daimon, or the Cardassian Union's title of gul. A colonel commands a brigade, an army unit consisting of a variable number (but not less than two) regiments.
Some rank systems have an additional grade, lieutenant colonel, which falls between colonel and major. In Starfleet, a Colonel named West was in charge of a military briefing to the Federation President. This grade exists in some form in many cultures' rank arrangements, such as the Klingon Defense Force, and the United States armed forces of Earth. In the Bajoran Militia, a colonel wears a silver Bajoran insignia pin on the collar. In the Romulan Tal Shiar organization, a colonel (ssiebh) wears a collar insignia of a gold triangle with two crescents lined up against it. In the Federation Starfighter Corps, the rank of colonel is equivalent to the infantry rank of captain. There also exists a higher grade of Colonel in the SFC, wing colonel. The equivalent in the Starfleet Starfighter Corps was either flight lieutenant (Star Trek: Daedalus) or lieutenant (Star Trek: Swiftfire).

Colonel was a military rank used by planet-based forces (such as the Imperial Army) as well as certain Starfighter Corps. Colonels ranked below generals and above majors, and were equivalent in rank to the naval rank of captain.
In the Imperial Army, the rank of colonel was divided into several grades. Lieutenant Colonels, who could command a regiment of up to 4,000 soldiers, were the lowest rank. High Colonels were the highest rank of colonel, commanding a battlegroup of four to eight regiments.
Colonel was also a rank used by Imperial Security Bureau, for example Colonel Wullf Yularen.
