Colonel was a military rank, the equivalent of which was used by the service organizations of many civilizations. As a traditional grade, colonel was the most senior line officer rank of a fighting organization, below the flag rank of general and senior to the rank of Major. In comparison to naval ranking systems, this rank was equivalent to the naval Captain rank. A colonel commanded a group, consisting of several squadrons, a regiment, consisting of several companies, or a battalion, consisting of two regiments. Some rank systems had an additional grade, Lieutenant Colonel, which fell between Colonel and Major.
