There is no provision of law specifically stating that the Medical Corps is in the Medical Department. It was the first corps to have duties relating to medical and sanitary matters and so long as it was the only corps having such duties there was no need for the departmental concept. The subsequent establishment of other corps with related duties in the Medical Department indicates clearly that the Medical Corps is in that Department.
The words effective August 4, 1947 and the words establishing the Medical Service Corps in 34 U.S.C. 30a are omitted as executed. The words is created and established as a Staff Corps of the United States Navy in 34 U.S.C. 43 are omitted as executed.
