The rank of Coronel (O6) is the commissioned officer rank in the Imperial Marines that commands a Regiment or has duties of similar importance.
Description (Specifications)
Each Regiment in the Imperial Marines will be commanded by a Coronel. Several staff posts at Brigade level (where these exist) or higher are also held by Officers with this rank.
The role of Regimental leader may occasionally be split into the Professional Commander (Coronel) and the Ceremonial Commander (Coronel-in-Chief), although this practice is more common in the Imperial Army and Huscarles units than in the Imperial Marines. The only Imperial Marine Regiment where this has occurred, is the Marine Guard Regiment whose Coronel-in-Chief is the Emperor.
Some Imperial Marine Regiments use the title Coronel[1] instead of Colonel[2].
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).
- The equivalent rank in the Imperial Army is Colonel
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.
