As of now, there are no active five-star generals in the United States military. The last officer to hold a five-star rank was General Colin Powell, who was awarded the rank posthumously in 2021. The rank of five-star general, officially known as General of the Army, has not been used since World War II, and such promotions are typically reserved for wartime situations. Other nations may have similar ranks, but they vary in structure and significance.
The only 5 star generals are General of the Army MacArthur, and General of the Army Eisenhower.
There are no 5 star air force generals
generals-1-4 stars, 5-star outranks all. they're all called Generals....crz
Eisenhower and Grant
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.
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.

No. The need for a 5 star general for the United States began during World War 2 and was stopped after the promotion of Gen. Omar Bradley. Since the Marine Corps is a part of the Department of the Navy it is very unlikely that a Marine Corps general would ever get promoted to the rank of a '5 Star' general.

At the time there were several generals who led various parts of the confederate army during the civil war. In the case of battles where multiple generals were on the field, each general would still be in charge of their component part of the army but would take orders from someone who was appointed as the head general. A couple of generals who would be considered to be head generals would be Jackson and Lee. General Lee was the confederate general in charge at the Battle of Gettysburg even though there were another half dozen generals also there. After battles such as this, the Americans started to bring in a system where generals could outrank other generals in the field. This eventually became the basis for the 5 star rankings of generals where only one 5 star general would be posted in the field of battle in order to stop confusion between like starred generals.
The Flag, 5-star General, 4-star General, 3-star General, 2-star General, 1-star General, Colonel, Lt. Colonel, Major, Captain, 1st Lieutenant, 2nd Lieutenant, Sergeant, the Spy, and the Private are the pieces used in the Game of the Generals. There is one piece each for the Flag up to the Sergeant, two pieces of Spies and six pieces of Privates.
