In the United States Marine Corps, colonel is a senior field grade military officer rank immediately above the rank of lieutenant colonel and immediately below the rank of brigadier general. It is equivalent to the naval rank of captain in the other uniformed services.
DOPMA guidelines suggest 50% of lieutenant colonels should be promoted to colonel after serving a minimum of three years at their present rank and after attaining 21-23 years of cumulative commissioned service. The pay grade for the rank of colonel or naval captain in the United States is O-6.
Marine Colonels usually command USMC regiments. Colonels are also found as the chief of staff at divisional level staff agencies. Colonels are sometimes referred to (but not addressed) as full-bird colonels or "O-6," in order to differentiate between colonels and lieutenant colonels.
