Three-star generals, typically holding the rank of lieutenant general in the U.S. military, serve in high-level command and staff positions. They are responsible for overseeing large military operations, managing significant resources, and providing strategic guidance within their branches. Their roles often include leadership of major commands, directing joint operations, and advising senior military and civilian leaders on defense matters. Additionally, they play a crucial role in shaping military policy and strategy at the national level.
No. He was a four star general. He may have become a 5 star general had he lived longer. However, in December of 1945 he was in a car accident and was paralyzed from the neck down. After a few weeks, he succumbed to his injuries. And there were 5 star generals at the time. Eisenhower, Marshall, and MacArthur were all 5 star generals.

In 1945, the US Army had a total of 188 generals, including 5 four-star generals, 24 three-star generals, 60 two-star generals, and 99 one-star generals. This was a significant increase from the 23 generals in 1939, reflecting the expansion of the Army during World War II. The high number of generals was necessary to oversee the large number of troops and complex operations during the war.
As of a count earlier this year, 7. I don't know the break-down among Brig. General, Maj. General, Lt. General, 1 Lt. (3-star) General and at least 2 Maj. (2-star) Generals. I'm assuming the rest are Brig (1-star) Generals, but I could be off on the exact numbers. I would look at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, OH, for more information about them. I know at least 2 are stationed there, 1 Lt. General and 1 (newly-pinned) Maj. General. The 1980 class of the Air Force Academy Colorado was the first to graduate women and is the main source of Generals. As more women graduate into the officer ranks, we will see more and more Generals in time. Only the US Army has a 4 star General at this time.
During World War II, there were a total of five four-star generals who commanded the US Army. These generals were George Marshall, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Henry "Hap" Arnold, and Omar Bradley. Each of these generals played a crucial role in leading the US Army to victory during the war.

As of October 2023, the United States has had a total of 12 four-star generals, not three-star generals. Some notable four-star generals include George Washington, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Colin Powell. If you meant three-star generals specifically, the list can vary over time due to promotions and retirements, so it's best to refer to the most current military records or announcements for an updated list.
Yes...im looking at one.
The only 5 star generals are General of the Army MacArthur, and General of the Army Eisenhower.
There are currently 40 active duty officers of 4 star rank (generals & admirals) in U.S. Forces. There appear to be well over 200 living retired 4 star generals.
As of 2005 the armed forces released there were currently 86 "Major Generals" (2 star). However specific names are generally withheld outside of 4-5 star generals for security purposes.
