So, if we had centurions and marshalls it would sound better, just we want some compatibility with NATO...

Is there a rank above General (in either US or UK)? If so what is it?

And what are the UK army ranks?

[Acriku]

In the US, yes, with 5 stars - during the war there is a General of the Army, and only during the war. When it is over, he is bumped back down to General.

[Inoculator9]

The UK army ranks are probably pretty similar.

The President of US plays a role of Chief in Command and that is higher than the General.
