He leads the surgeons into battle whenever there is a war. In the past the Surgeon General would wear white scrubs and ride a horse to lead the charge, but nowadays the role is more ceremonial and administrative than combat-orientated. Some traditions still hold true to this day - in their final year all medical students training to be surgeons must undertake an intensive course in sword fighting and pledge their life to that of the Surgeon General.
NOAA (the weather forecasting agency) also has a uniformed, quasi-military branch lead by a bunch of rear-admirals who are actually university professors appointed to the position. Although that makes marginally more sense since they are in charge of a couple ships. The Surgeon-General is just the government spokesman for public health issues.
The fuck is a surgeon general

She was a black woman, so you can imagine the faux outrage.
The American healthcare system is so fucked up we all have to share one surgeon, and he takes Sundays off.
He personally writes warnings on every pack of cigarettes about how cigarettes are bad for you.
The medical profession's equivalent of an attorney general.
Pretty soon we'll have an engineer general too.
