The Surgeon General of the United States Army and the Surgeon General of the United States Air Force typically hold the rank of Lieutenant General (three stars), though it is possible for a Brigadier General (two starts) to hold the position. The Surgeon General of the United States Navy holds an equivalent rank - Vice Admiral, though it is possible for a Rear Admiral to hold the position.

The Surgeon General of the United States is under the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps - one of the non-military uniformed services of the United States. Their rank structure is based on the rank structure used by Navy and Coast Guard officers, and they are typically appointed to the rank of Vice Admiral in the PHSCC.
