Shoulder insignia

Jenderal besar, translated literally as "grand general", is the highest rank of the Army of Indonesia. Within the Indonesian Armed Forces ranking system, jenderal besar is the equivalent of laksamana besar (admiral of the fleet) and marsekal besar (marshal of the air force).[1]

As government regulation No. 32/1997 have been revoked and replaced by government regulation No. 39/2010,[2] whereas the latest regulation never mention five-star rank. There will be no further five-star rank awarded to any Indonesian military personnel.

The insignia for jenderal besar is five golden stars arranged in a pentagon formation. Thus, the insignia is very similar to the United States Army rank of general of the army.
