NOAA is under the Chamber of Commerce. The military has their own meteorological capabilities from what I understand, though they may also use NOAA data. I don’t know how you mean that NOAA is a military agency, as they are not in the chain of command of any military agency or group.
Even their officers are not armed services, though they do receive a commission. I think you might be thinking of something that I haven’t seen or heard about, so please let me know if I am wrong.
