Five-Star Generals
The five as we know them to be.

Ever wonder how many 5 Star Generals* (otherwise known as "General of the Army") there have been in United States Military history? Wonder no more...

Note that the Army rank of 5 Star General is only handed out during wartime, as it was to the men below during World War 2 and the Korean War.

George C. Marshall (16 Dec 1944)
Douglas MacArthur (18 Dec 1944)
Dwight D. Eisenhower (20 Dec 1944)
Henry H. Arnold (21 Dec 1944)
Omar Bradley (20 Sep 1950)

Additionally, the US Navy maintains their own "Five Star" status in the form of the rank of "Fleet Admiral". This rank was awarded to the men as follows:

William D. Leahy (15 Dec 1944)
Ernest J. King (17 Dec 1944)
Chester W. Nimitz (19 Dec 1944)
William F. Halsey, Jr. (11 Dec 1945)
