Best Answer

The highest ranking officer is General of the US Army, commonly referred to as a five star General. The last man to hold this position at five-star rank was General of the Army Omar Bradley. The Chief of Staff's rank insignia is no different from any other General's; he wears the Chief of Staff Identification Badge. No one currently holds this position. Currently the highest ranking officer in the US Army is Chief of Staff, General (four star) George W. Casey, jr. The highest ranking enlisted person is Sergeant Major of the Army. the current SMOA is Kenneth O. Reston. His rank is different from any other sergeant major's: it has two stars between the stripes and rockers whereas a sergeant major or command sergeant major's rank only has one.
The highest rank in the US Army is General of the Army, 5 stars (O-11).

This rank is not permanently filled. The higher, Congressionally-authorized rank of General of the Armies of the United States is a rank accorded to two individuals: John J. Pershing and George Washington (Washington was posthumously increased in rank in 1976, and will always be senior to any US officer).

The General of the Army, as with the heads of all US Military branches, reports to the civilian heads of the executive branch and the Commander-in-Chief (the President of the United States).
