Reverend (military rank)

The military rank of Reverend typically refers to a chaplain, a religious officer serving in the armed forces. Chaplains provide spiritual support, conduct religious services, offer counseling, and advise military leadership on moral and ethical issues. They hold ranks similar to other officers, such as captain or major, reflecting their authority and integration within the military structure. Their primary role is to ensure the spiritual well-being of service members, regardless of their faith, and to support moral resilience during deployment and in military life.
