As of 2005 the armed forces released there were currently 86 "Major Generals" (2 star). However specific names are generally withheld outside of 4-5 star generals for security purposes.

Yes...im looking at one.
As stated in the United States Code, the number of four star generals has a limit in every department. For the US Army, the maximum is 230, Air force totals to 208, and for the Marine Corps is 60.

As of a count earlier this year, 7. I don't know the break-down among Brig. General, Maj. General, Lt. General, 1 Lt. (3-star) General and at least 2 Maj. (2-star) Generals. I'm assuming the rest are Brig (1-star) Generals, but I could be off on the exact numbers. I would look at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, OH, for more information about them. I know at least 2 are stationed there, 1 Lt. General and 1 (newly-pinned) Maj. General. The 1980 class of the Air Force Academy Colorado was the first to graduate women and is the main source of Generals. As more women graduate into the officer ranks, we will see more and more Generals in time. Only the US Army has a 4 star General at this time.
There are only 43 Lieutenant Generals in the US Army. They command at the Corps level, and serve as staff at the Pentagon. We have been unable to find a comprehensive list, as they are generally listed in their individual chains of command.
The only 5 star generals are General of the Army MacArthur, and General of the Army Eisenhower.
There are currently 40 active duty officers of 4 star rank (generals & admirals) in U.S. Forces. There appear to be well over 200 living retired 4 star generals.
In the US Army, US Air Force, and US Marine Corps: Brigadier General (one star) Major General (two star) Lieutenant General (three star) General (four star) General of the Army (five star) If this is not the specific military force you are looking for, see related link "International Encyclopedia of Uniform Insignia Around the World"
