#redirect {{ImperialGuardPortal}}A '''Colonel''' is typically the commanding officer of an [[Imperial_Guard_Hierarchy#Imperial Guard]] [[regiment]]. Imperial Guard Colonels are entirely responsible for the troops and equipment under their command. Colonels may be assigned to command additional troops or responsibilities depending on the threat-level present in the combat theatre. This position is also known as '''Lieutenant-Colonel'''. Whilst the rank of Colonel has several alternate names, a particularly unusual rank with the equivalent military responsibility is that of [[Colonel-Commissar]]. As far as is known, this dual military/political rank has only been held by one man, [[Ibram Gaunt]]<sup>1</sup>. ==Notable Colonels==*[[Schaeffer]] - Commander of the [[13th Penal Legion]]<sup>2</sup>*[[Colm Corbec]] - Regimental officer of the [[Tanith First and Only]]<sup>1</sup>*[[Regina Kasteen]] - Former officer of the [[Valhalla|Valhallan]] 201st, regimental officer of the [[Valhallan 597th]]<sup>3</sup> ==Sources==*<sup>1</sup>:[[Gaunt's Ghosts (Novel Series)]] by [[Dan Abnett]]*<sup>2</sup>:[[Last Chancers (Novel Series)|The Last Chancers Omnibus]] 13th Legion, Page 147*<sup>3</sup>:[[Ciaphas Cain (Novel Series)]] [[Category:Titles and Ranks]]
