it is all dependent for example an army colonel (0-6) in a brigade combat team will command as many as 1500 soldiers...then you could have an 0-6 Doctor Who doesn't command anyone...or you could have an 0-6 who is in charge of doctrine and training...
but for the most part expect a 0-6 to have at least 20 people under him up to 2000.
Most officers in the Army Infantry command, starting at Platoon level as a Lieutenant (approx 40 men), then as a Captain with a Company (120 men), and as a LtCol, a Battalion (600 men approx.) LtCol Gingrich retired at this level. Above that, there is a full Colonel who commands a Brigade and a Major General who commands a Division. There are also support commands such as the Base Commander, who is usually a Colonel, Artillery and Field Support who could be either Colonels or a Brigader General.
The number of men a colonel commands can vary significantly depending on the branch of the military and the specific unit. Typically, a colonel is in charge of a regiment or brigade, which can range from several hundred to a few thousand personnel. In the U.S. Army, for example, a colonel might lead around 1,000 to 3,000 soldiers, while in the Air Force, they might command a group of around 1,000 to 4,000 airmen. Overall, the exact number can differ based on organizational structure and mission requirements.
A regiment is commanded by a colonel. A regiment could be divided into two battalions, or from eight to ten companies.
There were many men in the battle, three of them were Captain John Parker, Colonel James Barrett (Both Colonists), and Lieutenants Colonel Francis Smith.
Considering that we have had two men who have held the rank of General (that is higher than Colonel) I would say two. They were Grant and Eisenhower.

In the Army, a Colonel typically commands a regiment or group, which is comprised of two or more batallions. It varies, but might be 3,000 - 5,000 troops. In the air force, Col. would typically command a wing or group, but fewer airmen and officers, maybe a few hundred.
He scolded the men
Because they had had no opportunities to meet men.
