This points up some odd distinctions within what most folks would consider “the military”.
The US has the following Armed Forces:
US Army (Department of Defense)
US Marine Corps (DoD)
US Navy (DoD)
US Air Force (DoD)
US Space Force (DoD)
US Coast Guard (Department of Homeland Security)
The US also has unarmed Uniformed Services, which includes all of the Armed Forces plus:
US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (Department of Health and Human Services)
US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps (Department of Commerce)
The USPHSCC is the reason why the United States has a Surgeon General, which is a military health position. The Surgeon General of the United States is a Vice Admiral of the USPHSCC and its commanding officer, as well as being a senior adviser in the US public health system.
It wouldn’t be the Dope there wasn’t nitpicking. ADM Rachel Levine is the highest ranking officer in the USPHSCC. She is a full Admiral (4 stars) and is the Assistant Secretary of Health. The Surgeon General is a Vice Admiral (3 stars). The Surgeon General is the operational head of the USPHSCC but he reports to the Assistant Secretary of Health. The ASH is not always a uniformed officer. When the ASH isn’t an Admiral then the Surgeon General is the highest ranking officer. That is not currently the case.
