The {{AstraMilitarumPortal}}{{IGHierarchy}}A '''Colonel''' is typically the commanding officer of an [[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'''.{{Cite This}} Whilst the rank of Colonel has several alternate names, a particularly unusual rank with the equivalent military responsibility is that of colonel [[Colonel-Commissar]]. As far as is known, this dual military/political rank has only been held by one man, [[Ibram Gaunt]]{{Fn|1}}.
