Under the regulations of the time, he was permitted to choose his insignia, and he chose four gold stars, in contrast to the four silver stars used by U.S. general and admiral rank insignia.<br /><br />In 1945, in preparation for the invasion of Japan, it was proposed[by whom?] that General Douglas MacArthur be promoted to "general of the armies", and that this would explicitly be a six-star rank.[citation needed] However, this and a subsequent proposal in 1955 were never adopted.<br /><br />In 1976, as part of the American Bicentennial celebrations, a joint resolution of the U.S. Congress stated that "it is considered fitting and proper that no officer of the United States Army should outrank Lieutenant General George Washington". Hence, it was resolved that "the grade of General of the Armies of the United States (be) established" and George Washington be posthumously appointed to this grade.[9]Response by SGT Christopher Clarke made Aug 24 at 2016 7:55 PM2016-08-24T19:55:56-04:002016-08-24T19:55:56-04:00SPC Christopher Morehouse1834379<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Is it me?

<p class="pta-link-card-description">The General of the Armies of the United States, or more commonly referred to as General of the Armies (abbreviated as GAS), is the highest possible military rank in the United States Armed Forces.[1] The rank is informally equated to that of a six star general and is the highest possible operational rank of the United States Army.</p>

All ranks above that require specific Congressional approval, are term limited and require another Congressional approval to retire at that rank. Also the last rank a promotion board is held for. In theory (and in some actual practice), if a three or four star cannot find another equivalent job at the end of their two year tenure in grade, they have to retire or revert back to their permanent rank of 08. Believe it was set up this way to honor Washington to ensure that no officer would ever equal his final permanent rank of Lt General.Response by Col Joe Corcoran made Oct 4 at 2016 11:01 PM2016-10-04T23:01:37-04:002016-10-04T23:01:37-04:00CPL Private RallyPoint Member1947993<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Uhh S1Response by CPL Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 4 at 2016 11:21 PM2016-10-04T23:21:04-04:002016-10-04T23:21:04-04:00SGT Tony Clifford1948078<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>General of the Armies of the Potomac.

General of the Armies of the United States also known as General of the Armies would still technically fall under a civilian Service Secretary administratively due to Title 10 § 3013; GA was only created when GA John Pershing was promoted due to his role commanding the American Expeditionary Forces, a joint Army/Navy/Marine Force, giving him seniority over other Generals/Admirals. The Navy has a similar rank, senior to Fleet Admiral (FADM), known as Admiral of the Navy (AN), held by AN George Dewey. The reason why 5 & 6 star ranks aren't used anymore is due to other countries not currently utilizing anything higher than 4 star rank for active duty personnel; it's been said that using a six star rank would "insult the French" during WW2.Response by SSgt Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 19 at 2016 11:12 PM2016-12-19T23:12:37-05:002016-12-19T23:12:37-05:00GySgt Geno Arroyo Jr.2173634<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>SsgtResponse by GySgt Geno Arroyo Jr. made Dec 19 at 2016 11:16 PM2016-12-19T23:16:56-05:002016-12-19T23:16:56-05:00SPC Larry Lambert2173640<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>E12Response by SPC Larry Lambert made Dec 19 at 2016 11:21 PM2016-12-19T23:21:12-05:002016-12-19T23:21:12-05:00COL Charles Williams2173680<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Command Specialist Major?Response by COL Charles Williams made Dec 19 at 2016 11:39 PM2016-12-19T23:39:16-05:002016-12-19T23:39:16-05:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member2173685<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Command specialist of the United States Army.

This is not specified as a 6-star rank but Congress did debate establishing such a rank during WWII as if the invasion of Japan had been attempted, you'd have multiple 5-stars involved, as well as to give an American commander peerage with any potential British Field Marshals that might have been there. The same Congressional resolution also specifies that no officer in the Army should ever outrank Washington so, presumably, should a 6-star rank ever be created, Washington would be either posthumously promoted again to either a higher rank or before any such appointment to a 6-star rank so as to be senior.Response by 1LT Aaron Barr made Dec 20 at 2016 3:03 PM2016-12-20T15:03:19-05:002016-12-20T15:03:19-05:00CPT Harold Joubert2175717<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>5 Star GeneralResponse by CPT Harold Joubert made Dec 20 at 2016 3:10 PM2016-12-20T15:10:31-05:002016-12-20T15:10:31-05:00CPL Johnny Doughey2175836<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>General of the Army (5 Star), known in the past as Supreme Commander.Response by CPL Johnny Doughey made Dec 20 at 2016 3:49 PM2016-12-20T15:49:16-05:002016-12-20T15:49:16-05:00SFC Marcus Belt2175842<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>GEN George Washington.Response by SFC Marcus Belt made Dec 20 at 2016 3:51 PM2016-12-20T15:51:24-05:002016-12-20T15:51:24-05:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member2175894<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Commander in chief of the continental army.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 20 at 2016 4:09 PM2016-12-20T16:09:29-05:002016-12-20T16:09:29-05:00CH (CPT)(P) Private RallyPoint Member2175896<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There is a traditional thought that a chaplain is the same rank as the person he is speaking with plus 1-day so he can be on their level but not necessarily ordered against their duties.

Highest Rank goes to General of the Armies of the United States of America General George Washington (posthumously from 1976). General George Washington held the rank of full General and title position of Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army.<br /><br />John J. Pershing was the only person in history to hold the rank of General of the Armies while serving on active duty. In 1919, to honor his service in World War I, Congress authorized the promotion of Pershing to the rank of "General of the Armies of the United States", President Woodrow Wilson, in accordance with Public Law 66-45, promoted Pershing to that same rank. The rank was primarily intended to recognize Pershing's performance as commander of the American Expeditionary Forces.Response by SSG Raymond Minze made Dec 22 at 2016 9:03 AM2016-12-22T09:03:33-05:002016-12-22T09:03:33-05:00SGT Kevin Canavan2180430<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>5 star generalResponse by SGT Kevin Canavan made Dec 22 at 2016 9:28 AM2016-12-22T09:28:25-05:002016-12-22T09:28:25-05:00Cpl Walter Kleinhans2180441<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>General of The ArmyResponse by Cpl Walter Kleinhans made Dec 22 at 2016 9:32 AM2016-12-22T09:32:58-05:002016-12-22T09:32:58-05:00SPC Erik Frame2180486<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Other than the president I think there should always be a Five Star!Response by SPC Erik Frame made Dec 22 at 2016 9:50 AM2016-12-22T09:50:53-05:002016-12-22T09:50:53-05:00SSG(P) Private RallyPoint Member2180524<div class="images-v2-count-1"><div class="content-picture image-v2-number-1" id="image-125770"> <div class="social_icons social-buttons-on-image">

His command denied the request. While playing Pinochle one evening, he told of his plight to the players at the table. A buck sergeant at the table told him to request again with right of review if denied. His request went up the chain to the Thirteenth Air Force where that same buck sergeant stamped approved and got the John Hancock of the commander. So in my father's case the highest rank was a simple buck sergeant.Response by Dale Roberts made Dec 29 at 2016 12:37 PM2016-12-29T12:37:09-05:002016-12-29T12:37:09-05:00Maj Pat Trimble2198476<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The Five Star General was instituted during WW2 to give men like Eisenhower parity with the British Field Marshal.
