General of the army ranks by country

Indonesia: General of the Army (Indonesia)
Liberia: The "five-star" general of the army (or field marshal) rank was first used by Samuel Doe (1951–1990) who promoted himself from master sergeant to the rank after seizing control of the state. The rank insignia was worn as five stars in a row on the collar and a circle of five stars on headgear. The rank was later worn as a circle of five gold stars on the collar by warlord President Charles Taylor (b. 1948). The rank has not been reintroduced since the Armed Forces of Liberia were recreated after 2004.
