Who writes the NCOER for the unit First Sergeant? The unit commander or XO, or a Sergeant Major at Battalion or Brigade (more approriately the unit CO or XO). The SMOA has a chain of command just as every other soldier in the US Army. He answers to someone. The next link up the chain for the SMOA is Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, and he is currently General Peter W. Chiarelli.
The highest ranking officer is General of the US Army, commonly referred to as a five star General. The last man to hold this position at five-star rank was General of the Army Omar Bradley.

Currently the highest ranking officer in the US Army is Chief of Staff, General (four star) George W. Casey, jr.

Pershing and George Washington (Washington was posthumously increased in rank in 1976, and will always be senior to any US officer).The General of the Army, as with the heads of all US military branches, reports to the civilian heads of the executive branch and the Commander-in-Chief (the President of the United States).Please see links below for amplification and pay related materials.
