There is a long history of direct commission oficers <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_commission_officer> in the military.

If you'd bothered to actually read the link I cited, you'd have seen that direct commissions occur during and outside of wartime.

It seems likely that the reason they've accepted these titles is because they believe that they will be given roles in which they have direct command authority, not just the role of advisor.
However, it also places them in Trump's direct chain of command as CinC. They might not have thought enough about that.
