The rank of General of the Armies is considered senior to General of the Army, and was bestowed on only one officer, John J. Pershing, in 1919 for his services in World War I.
When the five-star rank of General of the Army was introduced, it was decided that General Pershing would be superior to all the newly appointed Generals of the Army. Then Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson was asked whether Pershing was therefore a six-star general.
