The rank of Colonel (O6) is the commissioned officer rank in the Imperial Army that commands a Regiment or has duties of similar importance.
Description (Specifications)
Each Regiment in the Imperial Army, Imperial Marines and many Mercenary and Huscarle units will be commanded by a Colonel. Several staff posts at Brigade level or higher are also held by Officers with this rank.
The role of Regimental leader may occasionally be split into the Professional Commander (Colonel) and the Ceremonial Commander (Colonel-in-Chief).
The rank is often misused (and even misspelled) to mean the Leader of a Guerilla Unit, whatever its size.
The equivalent rank in the Imperial Navy is Captain (IN).
Rank & Grade (Hierarchy)
Some of the organizational ranks and grades used by this force are included in the following table:

History & Background (Dossier)
The word "colonel" derives from the same root as the word "column" (Italian: colonna) and means "of a column", and, by implication, "commander of a column". The word "colonel" is therefore linked to the word "column" in a similar way that "brigadier" is linked to "brigade", although in English this relationship is not immediately obvious. By the end of the late medieval period, a group of "companies" was referred to as a "column" of an army.
