After Rebirth, Steve Trevor is referred to as Master Chief and is in the Navy instead of the Air Force. Other characters, such as Lt. Candy, have also been transferred to the Navy.

Has there been any explanation (not that I really expect one) from DC?

Not only that, but being demoted from the rank of Colonel in the Air Force, a commissioned officer, to Master Chief Petty Officer in the Navy, an enlisted rating, is quite a step down in authority and responsibility.
