===United States Coast Guard===
All [[Officer_(armed_forces)#Commissioned_officers|commissioned]] and [[Warrant Officer (United States)|warrant]] officers of the [[United States Coast Guard]] and [[United States Coast Guard Reserve]] are considered line officers. They wear the US Coast Guard shield in lieu of the inverted star of [[United States Navy|US Navy]] line officers on their shoulder boards and above the sleeve braid on dress uniforms. Like the [[United States Marine Corps|US Marine Corps]], the Coast Guard does have line officers serving as judge advocates, but has no officers serving as chaplains or in the health-care fields. Therefore, US Navy staff corps officers (from the chaplain, medical, dental, and nurse corps) may be detailed to serve at Coast Guard units, and are not Coast Guard line officers. These individuals do wear the Coast Guard uniform, albeit with some differences.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.uscg.mil/pacarea/pch/docs/cgchapob.pdf|title=Coast Guard Chaplains Orientation Manual|website=www.uscg.mil|page=16|archive-url=https://wayback.archive-it.org/all/20120916105614/http://www.uscg.mil/pacarea/pch/docs/cgchapob.pdf|archive-date=16 September 2012|url-status=dead|access-date=1 March 2017}}</ref> Additionally, [[United States Public Health Service|US Public Health Service]] commissioned officers are the primary source of health care officers in the Coast Guard, serving alongside U.S. Navy staff corps officers and Coast Guardsmen in Coast Guard units. They too will wear the Coast Guard uniform, albeit with some differences.<ref name=":0" /> Health services officers in the USPHS commissioned corps detailed to the Coast Guard represent many disciplines, including the biological, physical, environmental, and [[social sciences]]; medical technology; health care administration; and other public health specialties such as [[physician assistant]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gocoastguard.com/sites/default/files/forms/opportunities_for_health_services_officers_in_the_uscg_2016.pdf|title=Opportunities for U.S. Public Health Service Health Services Officers in the U.S. Coast Guard|date=28 July 2016|website=www.gocoastguard.com|access-date=1 March 2017}}</ref>
