Brigadier general (United States) - History. 1  The rank of brigadier general has existed in the U.S. military since the inception of the Continental Army in June 1775. 2  During the period from March 16, 1802, to January 11, 1812, the rank of major general was abolished and brigadier general became the highest rank in the U.S. Army. Foreseeing the need for an expanded general staff in case of war, which seemed imminent, Congress restored the rank of major general in January 1812.
