Colonel George Washington resigned his commission in the Virginia Militia in 1758, at the age of 26. He had no military position for 17 years afterward (until 1775).

He left command of the Continental Army on December 23, 1783, at the age of 51.

* From July 13, 1798 until his death, Washington was nominally in command of the US army again as a lieutenant general, because President John Adams was worried that a naval war (the Quasi-War) would escalate.
