is there such thing as a 5 star general
Five-star rank Typically, five-star officers hold the rank of general of the army, admiral of the fleet, field marshal, marshal or general of the air force, and several other similarly named ranks. Five-star ranks are extremely seniorâ€”usually the highest ranks.

As a technical term, it refers to military competencies that reside in a nation-state's executive leadershipâ€”a head of state or a head of government .
