"Ranger" is a qualification, not a rank... (A new guy, just a few months out of boot camp could be Ranger qualified).
Enlisted paygrades are E-1 through E-9 (each service has a different name for each rank, especially the top ones). Then within each service, there's a senior enlisted who's also an E-9, but has the positional "top job" (Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, in our case). Similar for officers - O-1 through O-9, then the senior officer in each service, and an overall Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff - which is more of an advisory role to the President, than part of the operational chain of command.

Dude, I live in Louisiana.... How the **** can I hate black people living in LA?
To all those who answered the Commander in Chief or The President of the US. The President is not a military rank. the President is CIVILIAN LEADERSHIP. The question is what is the highest MILITARY RANK.
To all those saying a 5 star Army General is the highest , you keep forgetting there are 5 star ranks in several of the branches and the Army is NOT above them.
Normally 4 stars are the highest. the Fifth star is a special rank only awarded during time of war.
the Marine Corp and the Coast Guard do not have a 5 star rank. only the Navy, Air Force, and Army do.
William Halsey was the last Fleet Admiral
Omar Bradly was the last General of the Army
Henry Arnold was the last (and only) General of the Air Force
Only the Army and Navy have a traditional special rank that is the equivelant of a sixth star.
Admiral of the Navy was only ever earned by one man. George Dewey
General of the Armies(plural) was awarded to John Pershing and posthumously to George Washington
and yes the President is the Commander-in-chief of all the armed forces but his is a civilian position (civilian leadership)
other than draft dodging Clinton, you have to go all the way back to Franklin Delano Roosevelt to find another President who has not served in the military ( and FDR had an excuse. Polio)AcetylCoA gets reps

It would go something like this in the Army.
Commander-in-Chief
Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff
Army Chief of Staff
Theater Commander
Corps Commander
Division Commander
Brigade Commander
Battalion Commander -
Company/Troop Commander
Platoon Leader
Section/Squad/Team Leader
In some cases like here in korea you have the USFK Commander which is a 4 star then you have the 8th Army commander which is a 3 star$★☆-DA BMBC SOLDIER-☆★$

Depends it could be a fire team leader, squad leader APL, Platoon Sergeant, PC, It doesnt matter though because it seems like no matter what your rank was you were always calling Higher for permission to engage... LOL If **** really goes down it could be a senior LCpl calling the shots...
RANGER is a qualification not a rank
