I know of a few who served in the military like Rumsfeld and George Marshall, but neither of those served in combat. Who else did?

It's a long list that begins with the very first one - Benjamin Lincoln.

The first Secretary of Defense was James Forrestal in 1947. Before that we had Secretaries of War.
