Are USPHS (and NOAA) commissioned officers subject to the UCMJ, such as when they are working for the Coast Guard?-- MarshallStack 17:05, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Commissioned officers of both the Public Health Service and the Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration can be placed under the jurisdiction of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) when so prescribed by Executive Order of the President. With respect to the Public Health Service, the legal statutory authority of Presidential power as granted under Title 42 resides with the Assistant Secretary of Health (ASH). It is possible that the ASH may so prescribe as this authority is granted him/her. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.140.162.30 ( talk) 01:45, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Under Title 42,207, the Assistant Secretary for Health is a commissioned officer of the PHSCC holding the rank corresponding to a the grade of a army general. Corresponding, which means similar but not necessarily the same. The PHSCC uses the same ranks as the Navy and Coast Guard, so the ASH's rank is admiral. Please read the laws before making changes.

The title Public Health Service Commissioned Corps is NOT correct. The correct title as found in most documentation today is the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service (Corps). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.140.162.30 ( talk) 01:47, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
As a legal point of clarification, the legal rank of the Public Health Service is based in Army Rank, as codified in Title 42. However, following World War II, the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service pursued the use of Navy Rank. The United States Navy has granted the Public Health Service legal authority to have rank correspond to Navy rank under the authority of Chapter 10 of the U.S. Navy Regulations.
One must consider the time era in which the Commissioned Corps of the Marine-Hospital Service, later the Public Health and Marine-Hospital and finally Public Health Service was formed. Woodworth was following a commonly held model of military control following the civil war. In fact many organizations following the Civil War used the military model--the most successful that comes to mind is the Union Pacific Railroad. The Union Pacific Railroad used such military minds as William Sherman, who had association with Woodworth, and General Dodge, and many other military men. Union Pacific used military structure to complete the transcontinental railroad, but not placing people in uniform.
Woodworth also had to use the military model because of competition for resources with Dr. John Shaw Billings. Billings was successful in organizing the National Board of Health, which directly competed for funding and jurisdiction with the Marine-Hospital Service. What is most intersting about the composition of the National Board of Health is that it had representitives from all of the War Department, plus one representative from the Marine-Hospital Service. Shaw's success did not last, as the National Board of Health failed and full jurisdiction was later passed to the Marine-Hospital Service in 1884.
The Commissioned Corps of the United States Public Health Service (Corps) initially wore Navy uniforms from the 1890's through the 1920's. By 1922, the Corps started to wear Army Olive Drab uniforms, then by 1937, the uniforms were mixed between both Army and Navy uniforms. During World War II, officers wore the Army uniform for land based activities, with the most noted exception for officers assigned to the Washington Headquarters Service--which wore Navy style uniforms (in reality these were Coast Guard uniforms, which were Navy uniforms), and for those assigned to sea duty and with the Navy and Coast Guard, the officers wore the Navy style uniforms. Following the close of World War II and the demilitarization of the Corps with the close of the Korean Conflict, officers started to wear the Navy Uniform, which as previously mentioned was authorized by an amendment to the Public Health Service uniform regulations to allow the Surgeon General to prescribe the Coast Guard Uniform in 1942 (see Moment In Time on the Commissioned Corps Management Information System Web Page). (Coast Guard wore Navy uniforms until about 1970 when the Coasties started to wear a uniform which was similiar if not identical to the Air Force Uniform. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.140.162.30 ( talk) 02:04, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Why isn't there any mention of the violation of human rights committed by the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, such as the Tuskegee syphilis conspiracy, where they deliberately chose not to inform black men that they were infected with syphilis, and did not offer them cures, in order to study it's effect on untreated black adult men, for 40 years, until a whistleblower released documents proving the conspiracy to the press? Who removed that from here? Who authorized that? It used to list that. Who is behind this lie? This level of omission is a lie. 47.147.179.73 ( talk) 00:52, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
