US Army Chaplain Corps Mission
The U.S. Army Chaplain Corps provides religious support and advises on matters of spirituality and religion to build strong, ready teams to deploy, fight, and win our Nation’s wars as a unique and necessary branch of the Total Army that is fully engaged in Joint and multidomain operations in war and peace.
Chaplains advise commanders to ensure the 'free exercise' rights for all Soldiers are upheld - including those who hold no faith.
Chaplains perform religious support activities according to their faith and conscience and provide religious support of other faith groups by coordinating with another chaplain or qualified individual to perform the support needed.
At the unit level, a chaplain and Religious Affairs Specialist Non Commissioned Officer form a Unit Ministry Team, or UMT, and are embedded throughout all three components of the Army -- Active, Guard and Reserve.
Army Chaplain Corps Vision - Our Future End State:
The Army Chaplain Corps of 2030 builds Army spiritual readiness by investing in People, connecting them in spirit, and cultivating community across the full spectrum of conflict including Joint and multidomain operations.
