Are there any five star generals in military now?
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.

Who are the current high ranking generals in the us military?
There are no current Generals of the Army (five stars). The rank General of the Army is only used in special circumstances to give the United States a military leader equivalent to the rank of Field Marshal used by some militaries. For further information I urge you to see the Center for Military History page linked to under "links."
What would his rank be George w?
I'm guessing you're asking about the military rank of George Washington. Washington was the Lieutenant General of the Continental Army. There was only one, Washington, at this rank of three star general. There were major generals (two stars) and brigadier generals (one star) but Washington outranked everyone. This actually caused the US Army a lot of trouble later, in the Civil War. Because Washington was such a hero, no one could be his equal, therefor the US Army had no three star generals after Washington, even when the army grew to be huge during the Civil War. There were no generals of any rank above major general. Some who were promoted to two stars early in the Civil War turned out to be incompetent duds, but they had seniority within the grade of Major General and had to be allowed to command, often with disastrous results. Lincoln finally solved this problem by making Ulysses Grant only the second three star general ever in the American Army. Like Washington, Grant was the only man at this high rank in the Civil War, he was THE Lieutenant General. In WWI, General Pershing was a full, four star general. After that war Congress elevated him to "General of the Armies" without specifying any particular number of stars. At the end of WWII nine officers were elevated to five star rank - the only five stars the US has ever had. The army officers receiving a fifth star were called "General of the Army". This has led people to conclude that, since Pershing was made a "General of the ARMIES", that Pershing was a six star general. But again, Congress gave no specificity about a badge for the rank. Whatever it was, Congress then also posthumously promoted George Washington to "General of the Armies". So, Pershing and Washington are the only two Generals "of the Armies" ever in American history. But, while he was alive, Washington was a three star.
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.
What would a 5 star General be called in the Marine Corps?
A 5 star general in the Marine Corps would be called an imposter because there is no such person. The generals in the USMC are Brigadier General ( 1 star ) Major General ( 2 star ) Lieutenant General ( 3 star ) and General ( 4 star ). There is no 5 star general in the USMC. The general who outranks a 4 star general is the Commandant of the Marine Corps but is himself a General ( 4 star ). He is outranked by the Secretary of the Navy and is a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
What do they call a four star general in the army?
Army, Air Force and Marine Corps: One-star general: Brigadier GeneralTwo-star general: Major GeneralThree-star general: Lieutenant GeneralFour-star general: General Navy: One-star admiral: Rear Admiral (Lower Half)Two-star admiral: Rear Admiral (Upper Half)Three-star admiral: Vice AdmiralFour-star admiral: Admiral Rear Admiral (Lower Half) used to be called Commodore. They got rid of this rank because too many higher-ranking commanders would reject Commodores assigned to their commands with the phrase "send me a real admiral." So now they're real admirals. The Army and Air Force also have a five-star general rank--the Army calls theirs General of the Army, the Air Force calls theirs General of the Air Force. The five-star rank in the Navy is Fleet Admiral. The Marine Corps' rank structure has no five-star rank. Nine men have worn the five-star rank: Generals of the Army
