<Li> General of the Air Force (USAF) </Li> <Li> Fleet admiral (U.S. Navy) </Li> <P> General of the Army (abbreviated as GA) is a five - star general officer and the second highest possible rank in the United States Army . A General of the Army ranks immediately above a general and is equivalent to a Fleet Admiral and a General of the Air Force . There is no established equivalent five - star rank in the other federal uniformed services (Marine Corps, Coast Guard, United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Corps). Often called a "five - star general", the rank of General of the Army has historically been reserved for wartime use and is not currently active in the U.S. military . The General of the Army insignia consisted of five 3 / 8th inch stars in a pentagonal pattern, with points touching . The insignia is paired with the gold and enameled United States Coat of Arms on service coat shoulder loops . The silver colored five - star metal insignia alone would be worn for use as a collar insignia of grade and on the garrison cap . Soft shoulder epaulettes with five 7 / 16th inch stars in silver thread and gold - threaded United States Coat of Arms on green cloth were worn with shirts and sweaters . </P> <P> A special rank of General of the Armies, which ranks above General of the Army, exists but has been conferred only twice, to John J. Pershing and posthumously to George Washington . </P>
