“THE COMMISSIONED CORPS OF THE UNITED STATES PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE”
.
*the ‘united states public health service commissioned corps’ (PHSCC) is the ‘federal uniformed service’ of the ‘USA public health service’ (‘PHS’) + is 1 of the 8 ‘uniformed services’ of the ‘united states’*
.
Along with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps, the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps is one of two uniformed services that consist only of commissioned officers and has no enlisted or warrant officer ranks, although warrant officers have been authorized for use within the service.
Officers of the PHS are classified as noncombatants, unless directed to serve as part of the armed forces by the President or detailed to a service branch of the armed forces.
Members of the PHSCC wear the same uniforms as the United States Navy, or the United States Coast Guard (when assigned to the Coast Guard), with special PHSCC insignia, and hold ranks equivalent to officers of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard.
Officers of the PHSCC typically receive their commissions through the PHSCC’s direct commissioning program.
As with its parent division, the PHS, the PHSCC is under the direction of the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
The PHSCC is led by the Surgeon General, who holds the grade of vice admiral (O-9))
.
(the ‘surgeon general’ reports directly to the Department of Health and Human Services, Assistant Secretary for Health; the Surgeon General may be appointed to the rank of admiral (O-10) if he or she is a currently-serving member of the ‘PHSCC’)
