Chaplains are the military’s religious leaders. They are responsible for tending to the spiritual and moral well-being of service members and their families. The chaplain’s responsibilities include performing religious rites, conducting worship services and providing confidential counseling. They also advise commanders on religious, spiritual and moral matters.
Chaplains are commissioned officers stationed wherever there are military members, including combat environments. They have an important role in the commander’s program for operational stress control.
