I will have to say SFC that's because my platoon sergeant,SFC Aubrey Smith told us new recruits getting off "His Bus " onto "His Quadrangle " in 1965 at Ft.Lewis Wa.He must have had the highest rank to own all that government property!

General of the Armies. Pershing was only active General to be made one, and Washington being posthumously promoted to it in the 70's.

The absolute highest rank in the US Army is held by George Washington who, on July 4, 1976, was posthumously promoted to General of the Armies. 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.
