From the internet:

“Modern U.S. colonels usually command Army infantry, artillery, armor, aviation or other types of brigades, USMC regiments, Marine Expeditionary Units or Marine Aircraft Groups, and USAF groups or wings. An Army colonel typically commands brigade-sized units (4,000 to 6,000 soldiers), with another colonel or a lieutenant colonel as deputy commander, a major as executive officer, and a command sergeant major as a senior non-commissioned officer (NCO) advisor. An Air Force colonel typically commands a wing consisting of 1,000 to 4,000+ airmen with another colonel as the vice commander and a Command Chief Master Sergeant as principal senior NCO enlisted adviser. Some USAF colonels are commanders of groups, which are the four major components of wings. Colonels are also found as the chief of staff at divisional level-(Army) or Numbered Air Force-level staff agencies.


In the modern armed forces, the colonel\'s eagle is worn facing forward with head and beak pointing towards the wearer\'s front. Of all U.S. military commissioned officer rank, only the colonel\'s eagle has a distinct right and left insignia. All other commissioned officer rank insignia can be worn on either the right or left side.


Colonels are sometimes referred to (but not addressed as) full colonels, bird colonels, or full bird colonels because lieutenant colonels are also referred to and addressed in correspondence as \"colonel.\" Referring to an \"O-6\", a colonel\'s pay grade, also may differentiate colonels and lieutenant colonels, who have a pay grade of \"O-5\".


Almost all Army colonels have attended a war college or a senior staff college equivalent to study joint warfare and war itself. Most Army colonels receive postgraduate level senior joint professional military education (JPME) at the Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania[2] prior to promotion. The 2009 graduating class was 336 including 198 army officers and the rest divided among other military branches, domestic inter-agency representatives and other foreign military leaders.[3] The highest concentration of USAF colonels graduate from the Air War College at Maxwell AFB, Alabama via in-residence at Maxwell AFB. This program will include participation by officers from various other branches. Marine colonels may graduate from the Marine War College or, like all other branches, may receive credit via non-resident attendance at another installation, via correspondence, or will be graduates of an equivalent senior JPME program sponsored by the National Defense University or one of the other U.S. military Officers in the O-6 grade are designated Captains in the United States Navy and Coast Guard and as Colonels in the United States Marine Corps, the three branches of the Armed Forces of the United States that require collar grade insignia to be worn certain uniforms. A silver eagle is used as the insignia for this grade in these branches as well as in the Army and Air Force, but the latter two do not employ collar grade insignia.


Worn on both collar points of the shirt worn with the Service Khaki uniform in the Navy, the insignia is positioned so that the eagle’s head is facing to the front, i.e., an inboard direction. Line officers wear the insignia on both collar points; Commanders serving as Staff Officers wear the insignia on the right collar point and a Corps insignia on the left Collar point.


In the Marine Corps, the eagles are also facing inboard when worn on the collars of khaki shirts and on the collars of utility and camouflage maternity coats, but the eagle should be positioned in such a way that when the khaki shirt collar is buttoned, the wings will be perpendicular to the bottom of the shirt collar. On utility coats, the eagles will be worn with the wings perpendicular to the deck. Commanders may prescribe for a black version of the insignia to be worn on certain utility and camouflage uniforms.


This insignia is also used a headgear rank device by all three of these services. On the Garrison Cap, the eagle is worn on the wearer’s right side of the cap with the eagle’s head facing toward the front of the cap. The insignia is positioned so that the eagle is facing to the wearer’s right when worn on the front of a ball cap (U.S. Navy and Coast Guard).”
