U.S. Military Chaplain Corps

The U.S. Military Chaplain Corps provides spiritual support and guidance to service members and their families, regardless of their faith or beliefs. Chaplains, who are ordained ministers or qualified religious leaders, are integrated into military units and offer counseling, conduct religious services, and help soldiers cope with the challenges of military life. They ensure that service members have access to religious practices and support, while also fostering moral and ethical leadership within the armed forces. Chaplains serve all faiths, respecting diverse religious backgrounds and promoting the free exercise of religion in a military context.
