A Command and Unit Chaplain is the military counterpart of a civilian clergy person. Command and unit chaplains, also called chaplains, are commissioned staff officers who are responsible for moral and ethical leadership in matters where religion has a direct impact on the programs, personnel, or policies of the branches of the U. S. Armed Forces. In the U. S. Army, chaplains are part of the Army Chaplain Corps. Chaplains provide counseling, religious education, and workshops on religious matters. They perform religious ceremonies and rituals in accordance with the particular religious organization that they belong to. They provide these services for active and retired military personnel as well as for the family members of military personnel. Most command and unit chaplains minister for a particular faith. A chaplain may be employed as a Chaplain Resources Manager, Community Parish Pastor, Confinement Facility Chaplain, Inter-religious Relations Chaplain, or Staff Chaplain. Chaplains oversee the spiritual well-being of soldiers throughout their training and deployment periods. Chaplains are responsible for administering religious services to as many as 1,500 people. Chaplains are called upon to officiate at ceremonies, such as funerals, memorials, or other military functions. Chaplains must have completed theological training and received an ecclesiastical endorsement from a religious organization. Chaplains must either hold a graduate degree in religious studies, or hold a baccalaureate degree and currently be pursuing graduate studies. Chaplains must have completed a minimum of 72 hours of graduate work in religious studies before applying for work in the Army Chaplain Corps. Command and unit chaplains begin service as a staff officer immediately upon entering military service. Chaplains and Chaplain Assistants form a Unit Ministry Team (UMT) that is assigned to a specific military unit. Because they are considered non-combatants, chaplains do not carry weapons or participate directly in combat actions. Chaplains are not required to complete Basic Training. Chaplains must successfully complete the Chaplain Basic Officer Leadership Course (CH-BOLC) at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. The CH-BOLC is a 12-week course that teaches students non-combatant skills, military writing formats, and specific training for command and unit chaplains. The starting salary for a chaplain is approximately $36,000. Chaplains may make as much as $51,700 annually.
Personnel that join the military as officers (doctors, dentists, ministers, lawyers) attend a basic officer's branch course instead of basic combat training.
It is like fire in hot steel- a battle-ready analogy- all of the Marines are technically part of the Navy. Certain jobs are actually performed by Blue-water Navy personnel who wear -USN uniforms- such personnel include JAG officers ( lawyers) medical personnel ( including Nurses), and Chaplains, strictly speaking they don"t have these occupational categories among the leathernecks, so USN personnel are seconded.
The United States Marine Corp is part of the Department of the Navy they don't have there own Department. Many of the people that work with the Marine Corps are actually Navy personnel. Corpsman, chaplains, JAG, dentists, doctors and nurses are actually Naval personnel assigned to work with the Marines, so they often continue to wear Navy uniforms and are issued Navy equipment.
In early February 1943, in the midst of World War II, these four U.S. Army chaplains (two Protestants, one Catholic, one Jewish) sacrificed their own lives to save other civilian and military personnel as the troop ship SS Dorchester was sinking. They helped other soldiers to get on board the lifeboats and even gave up their own life jackets to save the lives of soldiers who needed them. Then, the chaplains joined arms, prayed together, and sang hymns as they went down with the ship and drowned. Their courage was later celebrated by a US postage stamp, as well as by various chapels that were named after them. There were also stained glass windows, sculptures, and plaques created in their memory.
An Army chaplain, or a chaplain from any branch of the military, is typically refered to as "Chaplain Jones". Typically, chaplains are not refered to by rank, as the calling into the chaplaincy is a higher calling than any rank the officer might attain. `Father'' is a term of address for priests in some churches (especially the Roman Catholic Church or the Orthodox Catholic Church); `Padre'' is frequently used in the military
