United States military insignia was the insignia which was used by the United States armed forces to display rank.
General rank | Insignia example | Historical examples |
---|---|---|
General | File:US o-10 rank pin.png | General Norman Schwarzkopf, US Army |
Lieutenant general | File:US o-9 rank pin.png | Lt. General Rex Denning, US Army Air Corps |
One- and two-star generals have never been seen on screen, but their existence is implied by the appearance of three- and four-star generals. Two additional ranks, five-star "General of the Army" (held by Douglas MacArthur and Dwight D. Eisenhower) and six-star "General of the Armies" , (held by George Washington), have existed, but the insignia for these ranks has never been seen or discussed.
Officer rank | Insignia example | Historical examples |

Colonel | File:US o-6 rank pin.png | Stephen G. Richey, US Air Force |
Lieutenant colonel or commander | File:US o-5 sleeve.png | Commander Rogerson, US Navy |

The United States officer ranks of second lieutenant, ensign (equivalent ranks), lieutenant jg (equivalent to first lieutenant), lieutenant commander (equivalent to major), and the rank of naval captain (equivalent to colonel) have never been seen or discussed in Star Trek, hence their omission from the above table.
