What is the highest rank in the army that is fighting in the battle field?

Usually the highest American rank is a 4-star General, who is called "General". With the massive amount of troops in World War II, the US created the rank of "General of the Army", "General of the Air Force", "Fleet Admiral". These ranks are "5 star Generals" and are reserved for use during wartime. An American "5 star General" is the same rank as a "Field Marshal" A rank which is used by a number of European countries. During World War I, General Pershing was awarded the title of "General of the Armies". While his rank was still a "4 star General", by title General Marshal outranked the "5 star Generals" of World War II. In a like manner, Admiral George Dewey was promoted to "Admiral of the Navy", a title that made him senior in rank to the "Fleet Admiral" Thus General Pershing and Admiral George Dewey, both would be considered a "6 star General". But its a rank that has never been formalized. Just to cover all bets, Congress promoted General George Washington to "General of the Armies" on July 4, 1976 on the 200th birthday of the US.
