United States Colonel

Colonels were quite in the center of the hierarchal chain. They were too high up to hear many of the rumors and play in the fun of the enlisted men, but too far down to be told much concerning certain operations devised by the generals. They would take charge over regiments of infantry, though due to administrative lag or shortages of ranking officers, they could also often be commanding a brigade. Usually, a regiment contained nine or ten companies, (smaller commands of companies were usually called battalions) and each company would have a standard 100 men. A regiment would thus be a force of about 1000 men, though they were seldom full regiments. More common would be the five- or six-hundred-man regiment due to sickness, deserters, and casualties. Many colonels were killed in action due to their responsibility to personally lead an attack and ensure that their regiment performed to the peak of its capabilities.
