Överste Överste ( " eversti " in Finnish ) is an officer rank in Finland and Sweden , immediately above " överstelöjtnant " ( " everstiluutnantti " ) and below " brigadgeneral " ( " prikaatikenraali " ) . It literally means " the highest " and has originally been a rank for regiment commanders . In Finland , brigade s are also commanded by holders of this rank . It is the highest rank below general officer s . Finnish Defense Forces rank of Eversti is comparable to Ranks of NATO armies officers as OF - 5 History and related ranks . 1600 - 1700 . Commander of a regiment that consisted of 1200 troops split into eight companies held this rank . One of the companies was called lifeguard company and was commanded by the " överste " himself with a " kaptenlöjtnant " as his deputy . However , the command of the lifeguard company was mostly delegated to the " kaptenlöjtnant " during battle . The regiment was split into two battalions during battle where the " överste " was in command of the first battalion . The holder was not paid by his rank but by his line of command . Thus , he received three salaries : salary for being the head of the regiment , the head of a battalion as well as being the head of a company . Sweden : Before 1983 . The holder of the rank who served as a commander of a regiment was also assigned a wartime position as commander of the corresponding brigade . A regiment is a pure training institution and produced about one battalion a year to populate the brigade . Sweden : Currently . The war organization has drastically been reduced from about 30 brigades to a few battalions ( ) . As a result , there is a major surplus of officers with 330 officers in this rank . Almost all do not command any military battle units ; but take up senior tasks related to administration , staff , education , training , planning . Some holders of the rank are also seen as heads or deputy heads of training centers ( called regiment ) that employ about 600 military and civilian staff and train about 1200 conscripts . Finland . Colonels ( " eversti " ) have usually fulfilled roles similar to Brigadier General in other armies . Indeed , the rank of Brigadier General ( " prikaatikenraali " ) has been introduced relatively recently , enabling better compatibility of ranks in peacekeeping operations . In most large military installations such as training brigades , the commander is a Colonel , and several officers of the General Staff , such as inspectors of services , are also Colonels . Promotion to colonel requires graduation from a general staff officer course ( 80 study credits ) . Fältöverste . " Fältöverste " ( " fält " " field " ) is an obsolete rank that used to denote the highest commander , equivalent of a general .

These regiments , despite the best effort of the French War Ministry and the Legion itself were assigned Legion cadres , crests carried the Legion Colors and celebrated Christmas and Camerone day .
