The first answer lists ranks of the current U.S. Army. In World War II, the chain of command for U.S. forces started, as it does now, with the President of the United States. The President delegated to Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson. The Secretary of War then disseminated information to the Chief of Staff of the Army, George C. Marshall and the Chief of Naval Operations, Ernest J. King.

Gen. Marshall was over the two theater commanders, Dwight D. Eisenhower in Europe, Douglas MacArthur, and the Commanding General of Army Air Forces, Henry H. Arnold.

The chain of Army ground forces went in order from highest to lowest: Theater, Army, Corps, Division, Regiment, Battalion, Company, Platoon, Squad, Team.

Air forces went, from top to bottom: Air Force, Wing, Group, Squadron, Flight.

The Navy was divided into fleets, which contained carrier groups, air wings, and marine divisions. Each of these had their own chains as above.
