There are also 10 active duty four-star Admirals, 4 four-star Marine Generals, and 12 four-star Air Force Generals. The law also limits the other services but certain exemptions can be made. For instance, the Navy is actually limited to 9 Admirals, but the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is exempt (Admiral Michael Mullen). The Marines are limited to 3, but one is Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. James E. Cartwright. The Air Force is limited to 11, but unified commanders are exempt from the count, of which there is one.
The law states that no more than 16.3% of active duty flag officers may be two-star and above, and of those, no more than 25% may be four-star.
