From start to finish the commander of the AEF was General John J. "Blackjack" Pershing. When the AEF was sufficiently large enough to form a field army Pershing also commanded the First US Army. When there were enough divisions to form the Second United States Army, Pershing moved up to command the American Army Group, Lieutenant General Hunter Liggett took over First Army, and Lieutenant General Robert Bullard commanded Second Army. The Third US Army was formed four days before the Armistice, and saw no action. It was initially commanded by Major General Joseph Dickman.

In the US Army, General.
The highest rank is Field Marshal, currently held by Queen Elizabeth's husband, the Duke of Edinburgh. It is a purely ceremonial role. Following that is the rank of General which is held by the Chief of the Defence Force (a role that rotates through the heads of the three services) and then Lieutenant General. Therefore if the current Chief of the Defence Force is from the Army then the highest Army rank is General, otherwise it is Lieutenant General.

Chief of Staff is the title of the highest ranking officer of the US Army. He holds the rank of General, which is an 0-10 / 4 star rank. The title of Commander-In-Chief is given to the President of the US and is the commanding authority for all military forces, but the holder of this rank, while often having served in the military, is not a military officer by virtue of title.
