What is the highest rank in the Australian Army?
The highest rank is Field Marshal, currently held by Queen Elizabeth's husband, the Duke of Edinburgh. It is a purely ceremonial role. Following that is the rank of General which is held by the Chief of the Defence Force (a role that rotates through the heads of the three services) and then Lieutenant General. Therefore if the current Chief of the Defence Force is from the Army then the highest Army rank is General, otherwise it is Lieutenant General.
Why does the U.S. military not have any five star generals?
The five star rank was last used in World War 2, when it was necessary for theater commanders such as Dwight Eisenhower and Douglas MacArthur to hold a rank that was at least equal or senior to general officers of other nations under their command. The title of the rank is General of the Army, but it is equivalent to Field Marshal in foreign services. John J. Pershing was eventually promoted to the rank during WW1, and five general officers held the rank during or after 1944 in WW2: George C. Marshall, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Henry H. Arnold, and Omar Bradley who was promoted to five star rank as an honorarium in 1950.In normal times (even during the current War on Terror) the highest rank a general officer may hold is four stars, usually called simply "general" or sometimes "full general." All general officers wear one or more stars, and all are addressed simply as "General" as a mark of respect.We have even had a couple of six star Generals of the Armies (plural), but this rank was strictly an honorarium and has been held by only two men in history: John J. Pershing after WW1, and George Washington long after his death.A sidebar: While not a five-star rank, Ulysses Simpson Grant in 1866 was awarded the special four star rank of General of the Army of The United States at a time when the highest rank in the army was Lieutenant General (three stars).
