The [[Army_Directive_04-1402|Colonel of the Regiment]] is an honorary ceremonial position and is an appointment rather than a rank. It is an honor conferred upon a senior officer (active or retired) who has, usually but not necessarily, served with the regiment in the past, and it requires the approval of the [[Marshal of the Army]] (MotA). It is similar to the position of Colonel of Marines mentioned in the Honor Harrington series, and affords those in our organization who have earned peerages in TRMN the opportunity to interact with and support the [[Royal_Manticoran_Army|RMA]] in a unique way.
