Ace of Spaces Comment Thread comment by “Rank is Rank, Doc is a MOS”. (LINK) NOTE: I know that this is not exactly the highest quality source from which to base things upon, but it will have to do until I can uncover more detail on rank assignments for medical officers in the U.S. Army.

NOTES: While it's easy to find out what unit a Captain or Colonel commands, it's a bit harder to find out what level of organization a military doctor commands. This page hopefully will help in clarifying this.
