The preacher is not sent to merely induce men to join the church, nor merely to get them to do better. It is to get them to pray, to trust God, and to keep God ever before their eyes, that they may not sin against him. -E.M. Bounds

The chaplain is a personal staff officer responsible for coordinating the religious assets and operations within the command. The chaplain is a confidential advisor to the commander for religious matters. (FM 1-05, para 1-19) “ The Chaplain’s Priority is to the Commander and His Soldiers.”
