What is the highest rank in US Marine Corp?
The highest rank in the Marines, by title and rank, is the Commandant of the Marine Corps. The position is currently held by 4-Star General James T. Conway. The position holds 4-Star General rank, regardless of the officer's actual rank. For example, a 2 or 3 star General can be selected and confirmed by the Senate for that position, and thereby gains 4-Star rank by virtue of holding that position, but would revert to their former rank when they left. That's why most retire after serving (your pension is based on highest rank achieved), though not all do.
