Chapter 20

THE ARMY'S GENERALS

Adopted from the British Army, the title general has been used in the American Army ever since it was organized during the Revolutionary War. Actually, the term itself was used as early as the days of the Roman armies.

GRADES OF GENERAL OFFICERS

Since World War II active duty officers have served in five grades of general officer, as follows: General of the army (insignia-five stars set in a circular pattern), general (0-10) (four stars), lieutenant general (0-9) (three stars), major general (0-8) (two stars), and brigadier general (O-7) (one star). GENERAL OF THE ARMIES OF THE UNITED STATES. This grade was created by section 9 of the act of 3 March 1799.

While the purpose of this legislation was undoubtedly to confer the title upon George Washington, no record has been found to show that the appointment was ever made. George Washington held the rank of general and Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army from 15 June 1775 to 23 December 1783. The office of "general" under the present form of government, as stated above, was established by the act of 3 March 1799, while Washington was holding the office of Commanderin-Chief with the rank of lieutenant general, to which he had been appointed on 3 July 1798. The act provided "that a commander of the Army of the United States shall be appointed and commissioned by the style of 'general of the armies of the United States;' and the present office and title of lieutenant general shall thereafter be abolished."

The office of general of the armies of the United States ceased to exist when

it was not mentioned in the act of 16 March 1802, which determined the peacetime military establishment. The Congress, however, by Public Law 45, approved 3 September 1919, appointed Gen. John J. Pershing to this grade, in which he was retired on 13 September 1924. No other officer has held this title.

GENERAL OF THE ARMY. This grade was authorized by the act of 25 July 1866, was conferred upon Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant on that date, and was recognized and continued in various acts until the act of 15 July 1870 which contained the requirement that "the offices of general and lieutenant general shall continue until a vacancy shall exist in the same, and no longer, and when such vacancy shall occur in either of said offices shall become inoperative, and shall, by virtue of this act, from thence forward be held to be repealed." William T. Sherman was appointed to this grade on 4 March 1869, but the office ceased to exist as a grade of military rank at his death on 14 February 1891.

The act of 3 March 1885 authorized the appointment of a "general of the army on the retired list," which was conferred upon Gen. Grant, and expired on the death of that officer 23 July 1885. By the act of 1 June 1888 the grade of lieutenant general was discontinued and merged into that of general of the army, which was conferred upon Lt. Gen. Philip H. Sheridan, and ceased to
