General (United States)
In the
United States Army
,
U.S. Marine Corps
, and
U.S. Air Force
,
general
is a
four-star
general officer
rank, with the
pay grade
of O-10. General ranks above
lieutenant general
and below
General of the Army
or
General of the Air Force
; the Marine Corps does not have an established grade above general. General is equivalent to the rank of
admiral
in the other
uniformed services
. Since the grades of General of the Army and General of the Air Force are reserved for war-time use only, and since the Marine Corps has no five-star equivalent, the grade of general is currently considered to be the highest appointment an officer can achieve in these three services.
