The eagle can be worn for other military purposes for different uniforms, the brass head piece ornament for example. But for RANK purposes, the spread winged eagle is a Colonel (referred to as a "full bird" Colonel) in the US Army, US Marine Corps, and US Air Force.

A USA, USAF, USMC Major rank insignia is a gold oak leaf. In the US Navy this same insignia is a LIEUTENANT COMMANDER. Two silver bars side by side (like a railroad track) is a Captain in the USA, USAF, USMC. But in the US Navy, this insignia is a LIEUTENANT. One silver bar is a 1st Lieutenant in the USA, USAF, USMC.
