Washington held the rank of Lieutenant General (3-Star) until his death in 1799.
In 1976 he was promoted posthumously to General of the Armies of the United States, the highest possible rank.
Only Washington and Gen. John J. Pershing (1919) hold the rank of General of the Armies of the United States.
During World War II the five-star rank of General of the Army was created. Both this and General of the Army of the United States are inferior to, and should not be confused with, General of the Armies of the United States.

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]

What presidents had the highest military rank?
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.
