George Washington's highest military rank was commander in chief of the Continental Army.
Given that the highest rank possible in the US Military is Commander-in-Chief, and that the Commander-in-Chief is the President, they all held the highest rank possible. THE ABOVE answer I found here is incorrect. The Commander-in-Chief position is civilian, not military. The whole point of making the president C-in-C is to have civilian control of the military, unlike in other countries in the 18th century whose military did not answer to the government. The president is not a member of the military. I am told George Washington was the only six star general in history (before being president, of course), but I have not checked.
George Washington worked as a land surveyor before he became president of the United States. He was also a colonel in the military at one time.
He was a strong military leader and in his teens he was a planter. I hope it helped!!! :)
George Washington was not president in 1903. Washington was president from 1789 to 1797. Theodore Roosevelt was president in 1903.

George Washington was never in the White House. Before he was president he was in the military.
He was a planter and landowner, surveyor, distiller and military officer
George Washington was the first Commander in Chief of the U.S. military. Washington became the first President of the United States in 1789.
Practically, the sitting president, as Commander In Chief, has the highest military authority.However, in 1976, President Gerald Ford posthumously awarded George Washington with the rank of General of The Armies of The United States, stating that he would forever outrank all officers past, present, and future. So technically, he has the highest rank of any American. [Ed note: Washington's rank was a military rank, and, as such, is still outranked by the civilian chain of command]
he was made a chief of command in the military
