The US only has a Five Star General (also known as General of the Army) during a time of war. There have been no officers appointed to that rank since Omar Bradley. The rank is still maintained as a rank of the U.S. military, and could again be bestowed during a time of war. There could be non-war conditions which would allow the use of the title. These are under consideration by the U.S. Department of Defense and could include the office of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
