No. The Secretary of Defense is second to the President. Then comes the Secretary of the Military Branch THEN comes the Joint Chief of Staff. And below the Joint Chief would be the four star General or known just as a General. Below this rank in descending order are: A Lieutenant General, Major General, Brigadier General, and then comes Colonel. For the US Navy the rank names are a bit different. Under the Joint Cheif of the Navy comes an Admiral. Then comes the Vice Admiral, then the Upper Rear Admiral, and finally a Lower Rear Admiral, followed by the Ship Captain.
