Colonel
Colonel (abbrev: COL) is an officer paygrade within the Royal Manticoran Marine Corps and the Royal Manticoran Army. It holds the equivalent military paygrade of O-6 within The Royal Manticoran Navy: The Official Honor Harrington Fan Association, Inc. and is usually in command of a battalion. A soldier who has received their first planet is only referred to as a "colonel."
Honorverse
In peacetime, a Colonel would have served three years as an Lieutenant Colonel, with at least 17 years in the service, and been reviewed by a Officer Promotion Board. Board review is incredibly difficult and most marines retire before reaching this rank. It's considered to be the final step before reaching General Officer ranks. [1]
TRMN
If the soldier has completed their Lieutenant Colonel Exam, and served as a Major with 18 months Time in Grade, they are eligible to be promoted to this rank. However, this rank will not be confirmed unless there is a regimental or high staff billet available. [2]
