The title "General of the Army" is a five-star rank in the United States Army, established during World War II. It is the highest possible rank and is typically reserved for wartime leaders. Only a few individuals, such as George C. Marshall and Dwight D. Eisenhower, have held this title, which signifies exceptional leadership and service. This rank is above a four-star general and is part of a broader military hierarchy. The position is not currently active, as it has not been awarded since the end of World War II. The title reflects significant responsibility and authority within the U.S. military.
