MACO Colonel Rank Insignia |
|
The most senior MACO line rank, immediately inferior to Brigadier General, and superior to Lieutenant Colonel. In comparison to Starfleet's ranking system, a Colonel is equivalent to Captain.
Colonels typically command brigade-sized units (3,000 to 5,000 Soldiers), with a Master Sergeant as principal NCO assistant. Colonels are also found as the chief of divisional-level staff agencies.
