This is a complete list of in the United States before February 2, 1901. The grade of brigadier general or one-star general is ordinarily the fourth-highest in the peacetime Army, ranking above and below two-star general. The grade of brigadier general was the highest peacetime in the Regular Army during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and the second-highest for most of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It was also rare: until 1901 there were fewer than twenty brigadier generals on active duty at any given time. Even during times of war, the number of Regular Army brigadier generals remained relatively constant, because rather than expand the permanent military establishment to meet transient wartime requirements, the Regular Army served as a for a much larger temporary force of and. Many famous generals of the held high rank only in the volunteer service, and reverted to much lower permanent grades in the Regular Army when the volunteers were disbanded after the war. The number of Regular Army brigadier generals increased dramatically when the Army was reorganized after the. In addition to increasing the number of brigadier generals of the line from six to fifteen, the Army instituted a practice of funneling a succession of senior colonels through each vacancy in the grade of brigadier general, each officer in turn being promoted and retired at the higher rank and retired pay after only one day in grade. The reorganization took effect on February 2, 1901. Historically, the United States Army included two components: the permanently established , which constituted the peacetime force; and, during time of war, a much larger non-permanent establishment comprising various volunteer, conscript, and federalized state forces. The following list of brigadier generals includes all officers appointed to that rank in the line or staff of the United States Regular Army prior to February 2, 1901.

Line By February 1, 1901, there were six brigadier generals of the line. An officer held the permanent grade of brigadier general until his death; retirement; resignation; discharge; dismissal; or promotion to a higher permanent grade such as major general , lieutenant general , or general. An officer's Regular Army grade was not affected by brevet appointments or appointments in other organizations such as the United States Volunteers or the Confederate States Army. Staff By February 1, 1901, there were ten brigadier generals of the staff: the Quartermaster General , the Inspector General , the Chief of Ordnance , the Surgeon General , the Commissary General of Subsistence , the Chief of Engineers , the Judge Advocate General , the Paymaster General , the Chief Signal Officer , and the Chief of the Records and Pension Office. In addition, the office of Adjutant General was scheduled to revert to brigadier general rank after the term of its then-incumbent. For the first two years of its existence, the was so small that its highest-ranking officer was a lieutenant colonel, , who, as the Army's , held the rank of brigadier general only by. The substantive grades of major general and brigadier general were created in 1791 when the Army was expanded to fight the ; a major general was immediately appointed to supersede Harmar, in whom confidence had been lost following the year before, but the brigadier general grade remained vacant until Harmar resigned in early 1792, whereupon the Army's only other lieutenant colonel, , became its first substantive brigadier general. In response to its the Army was reorganized as the , merging its separate infantry, cavalry, and artillery regiments into four sub-legions. To entice former generals to command the sub-legions, Congress authorized four additional brigadier generalcies, but so many candidates declined these appointments that the sub-legions had to be commanded by lieutenant colonels instead. The additional brigadier generalcies expired along with the grade of major general when the Army reconstituted its regiments after the war, leaving Wilkinson as the Army's senior officer and sole brigadier general. Quasi-War In July 1798 the with induced Congress to augment the Regular Army by raising a Provisional Army for the duration of the conflict. In addition to the general officers commissioned in the Provisional Army, the Regular Army was authorized three more brigadier generals of the line and an with the ex officio rank of brigadier general. Both were discharged when Congress disbanded the Provisional Army in June 1800, again leaving Wilkinson as the only brigadier general. War of 1812 Tensions arising from the led Congress to triple the authorized strength of the Army in 1808, for a total of three brigadier generals: Wilkinson, , and. Four years later, with the looming, Congress authorized a massive expansion of the military establishment, led by two major generals; five more brigadier generals of the line; and an adjutant general, an inspector general, and a quartermaster general with ex officio ranks of brigadier general. After the war the Army reverted to a much smaller peacetime establishment. Of the fifteen brigadier generals in the Army at the beginning of 1815, only five were retained in grade: , , , , and Adjutant and Inspector General. The remaining ten either resigned, were discharged as surplus in grade, or were retained in the Army at the grade of colonel. In 1821 another round of Army cuts reduced Macomb, Parker, and to colonel, leaving Gaines, Scott, and as the Army's only brigadier generals. Gaines, Scott, and Jesup would monopolize the rank for a generation, spending a combined total of 104 years as brigadier generals. Jesup, appointed Quartermaster General at the age of 30, would serve a record 42 years as brigadier general, finally dying in office on the eve of the. Scott was promoted to major general in 1841 and was succeeded by Inspector General , the first promotion to brigadier general in over twenty years. Mexican War The triggered a temporary increase in the number of general officers. In 1846 Congress authorized two additional brigadier generals on the condition that they be discharged immediately upon the ratification of a peace treaty; career Regular Army officers and were promoted to the new grades. The next year, three more wartime grades were authorized; , , and were appointed directly from civilian life. Hopping died a few months after his appointment, and the two remaining civilian generals were duly discharged at the end of the war, but Congress allowed Twiggs and Kearny to remain in grade while normal attrition reduced the number of brigadier generals to the desired peacetime total. Gaines and Kearny died within a year, leaving Wool and Twiggs as the two brigadier generals of the line authorized by statute. In 1855 Congress increased the Army by four regiments and added a third brigadier generalcy of the line, which it intended for , a former brigadier general of volunteers during the Mexican War who had just been defeated for reelection to the Senate. However, Scott, the Army's only major general, was almost seventy years old and likely to be succeeded by a brigadier general of the line. Since Wool and Twiggs were around the same age as Scott, the person appointed to the third brigadier generalcy could reasonably expect to become the next. Rather than vault the civilian Shields to potential command of the professional Army in a single bound, the administration instead promoted Colonel , a distinguished career officer. Ironically, Wool and Twiggs both outlived Smith, who died unexpectedly in 1858 and was succeeded by Colonel. In the end, none of the Army's prewar generals would retain high command in the United States Army during the Civil War. Of the five general officers in the Regular Army at the outbreak of hostilities, Scott retired almost immediately, Wool and Harney were sidelined and retired midway through the war, Twiggs was dismissed for after surrendering the garrison in Texas, and Quartermaster General resigned to join the. Civil War During the Congress augmented the permanent Regular Army with a massive temporary force of volunteers and conscripts. The overwhelming majority of Civil War brigadier generals were appointed to that grade only in the volunteer service, so hundreds of wartime generals lost their ranks when the volunteers were disbanded after the war. Early wartime vacancies in the Regular Army grade of brigadier general were filled on the basis of prewar experience or anticipated brilliance, and included Colonels and , Inspector General , and Major , all senior stalwarts of the peacetime Army; plus two relative newcomers, Brevet Assistant Adjutant General and former First Lieutenant. By mid-1862 permanent Regular Army brigadier generalcies were being dangled as rewards for particularly successful volunteer generals, many of whom had been civilians or very junior Regular officers before the war; these later appointments went to Colonels and ; Major ; Captains , , , , and ; former Captain ; and First Lieutenant — all major generals of volunteers — and civilian , a brigadier general of volunteers. Most of the Army's wartime bureau chiefs were eventually elevated to the ex officio rank of brigadier general, including the , the , the , the , the , and the. In 1864 was appointed with the rank of brigadier general to administer the non-Regular volunteers and draftees; unique among ex officio general officers of this era, Fry lost his rank when his office was abolished after the volunteers were disbanded in 1866. In 1865 Congress established the office of Chief of Staff to the Lieutenant General with ex officio rank of brigadier general as a mechanism to transfer Brigadier General of Volunteers to the Regular Army so that he could continue to serve as Lieutenant General 's principal military assistant after the war; the office terminated when Rawlins became President Grant's first Secretary of War in 1869. The postwar demobilization of the volunteers reduced most Civil War officers to much lower permanent grades in the Regular Army or to civilian life, so in 1866 Congress tripled the size of the Regular Army to create enough new force structure to reward officers with the grades their wartime service merited. To recognize the many outstanding volunteer officers who had not been professional soldiers before the war, half of the new commissions were reserved for civilian volunteers and the other half for prewar professionals. As a result, many civilian volunteers gained seniority over long-serving Regulars with similar or better records. For example, by 1886 stood only eleventh on the list of colonels of the line despite having outranked during the war all ten colonels now senior to him; Merritt was appointed only a lieutenant colonel in 1866, while civilians like and were appointed to colonelcies for which Merritt, a Regular officer, was ineligible, and twenty years later Ruger and Willcox were both promoted to brigadier general ahead of him. Postwar Promotions in the Regular Army ground almost to a halt in the years following the Civil War, largely due to the glut of Civil War heroes who were rewarded with senior grades at a relatively young age and then camped in those grades for decades; dramatic reductions in the size of the peacetime military establishment squeezed the promotion bottleneck even tighter. Congress cut the number of brigadier generals of the line to eight in 1869 and to six a year later; , , and eventually cleared the path for Lieutenant Colonel to become a brigadier general of the line in 1873, the only such promotion between 1869 and 1880. Promotions did not resume their normal flow until Congress instituted a mandatory retirement age of sixty-four in 1882. Famous officers campaigned openly for every vacancy in the grade of brigadier general. Custer was killed in 1876 making his eponymous and Mackenzie was promoted to brigadier general in 1882 but pronounced hopelessly insane two years later and involuntarily retired, but Miles — promoted to brigadier general in 1880 when President agreed to accelerate Army promotions by involuntarily retiring Brigadier General — ascended to command of the entire Army and retired as a lieutenant general. Political patronage weighed heavily in general officer appointments during this period. In January 1892 Secretary of War wanted to promote Colonel to a vacant brigadier generalcy, but Elkins' influential predecessor, , lobbied vigorously for Colonel , while backed Colonel , backed Colonel , and backed Colonel , who ultimately received the appointment in April. When the next vacancy opened in June, Elkins, Proctor, and Schofield agreed that Carr would be promoted but request to retire early so that Carlin could also be promoted and retired in time for Otis to be promoted before the end of President 's administration; since Carr had only two years until statutory retirement but Otis had more than a decade, this sequence would prevent the grade from falling vacant during the next four-year presidential term, thereby denying Harrison's successor an opportunity to reward a supporter. However, once promoted, Carr angrily repudiated this arrangement, claiming no one had told him he would have to retire early, so Harrison retired him involuntarily and nominated Otis for immediate promotion, skipping Carlin entirely. Carlin was promoted anyway when Otis agreed to defer his promotion at the behest of the next President, , who remembered Carlin fondly from a brief period of shared service early in the Civil War. Spanish—American War Congress raised a new force of volunteers to fight the in 1898, and mustered a second volunteer force a year later for the. In contrast to previous wars, no additional general officers were authorized in the Regular Army, confining the expansion of the general officer corps entirely to the non-permanent volunteer service. Echoing Civil War practice, volunteer generals were drawn from both Regular officers and civilians, with particularly prominent volunteer generals being rewarded with permanent brigadier generalcies in the Regular Army, including former major general. Many of the Army's wartime supply problems were blamed on the unusually rapid turnover of bureau chiefs before and during the war — four Quartermasters General and six Commissaries General of Subsistence in the 30 months before the war — due to a peacetime personnel policy that promoted general officers based on past service rather than future merit. In February 1882 President involuntarily retired sixty-five-year-old Quartermaster General in order to give seventy-year-old Assistant Quartermaster General the chance to be Quartermaster General himself before he died. Rucker served as Quartermaster General for only ten days before being retired at his own request, inaugurating a decades-long tradition of briefly elevating elderly staff officers to the top of their bureau as a reward for long service. The use of brigadier generalcies as retirement gifts spread to the line in 1886 when Colonel was promoted to brigadier general only six months before his statutory retirement date, signaling a shift in promotion policy to reward distinguished Civil War veterans with higher retired rank and pay. Potter was succeeded by Colonel , another six-month general who was succeeded on a more permanent basis by Colonel. As such generals became more common, their tenure in grade dropped from months to weeks to days, finally hitting bottom in October 1899 when a single vacant brigadier generalcy cycled through five occupants in five days, each officer in turn being promoted one day and retired the next.
