TITLE 10—ARMED FORCES
§ 8112
officers of any category in any grade in the Navy, the
existence of every grade in the several staff corps and
in the Naval Reserve is recognized, and the restriction
of these grades to the active list of the line is removed.
The grade of Fleet Admiral is omitted inasmuch as
the law authorizing appointments in this grade was
limited.
In subsection (a) the words ‘‘above the grade of chief
warrant officer, W–4’’ are inserted for clarity.
Subsection (c) is added to make clear the fact that an
officer serving in a position, such as chief of bureau,
which entitles him to the rank, pay, and allowances of
a rear admiral of the upper half ranks rear admirals re-
ceiving the pay and allowances of the lower half even
though he has not been appointed to the grade of rear
admiral or, if so appointed, is in the lower half. A state-
ment of this fact is necessary to give full effect to 5
U.S.C. 441 which provides that chiefs of bureaus of the
Navy Department and the Judge Advocate General of
the Navy, while so serving, shall have ‘‘corresponding
rank and shall receive the same pay and allowances
* * * as * * * chiefs of bureaus of the War Department
and the Judge Advocate General of the Army’’. The
rank so conferred, corresponding to the Army rank of
major general, is rear admiral of the upper half. In
§§ 5133 and 5148 of this title, based on 5 U.S.C. 441, the
reference to the Army rank is eliminated and the cor-
responding Navy rank is substituted. The substitution
is made because, as stated in the revision notes on
those sections, the creation of the Department of the
Air Force and the reorganization of the Department of
the Army make it impracticable to continue to relate
Navy Department positions to former War De
