army chaplains
Uniformed spiritual advisors
Army chaplains are clergy members who serve in military forces, providing religious services, spiritual guidance, and pastoral care to soldiers.
They hold officer rank but are noncombatants, often identifiable by distinctive insignia.
Chaplains counsel troops facing combat stress, conduct worship services in the field, and minister to the dying and bereaved: The army chaplain visited the wounded in the field hospital.
