History

Always present with Soldiers in war and in peace, the Chaplain Corps provides religious support to America's Army by nurturing the living, caring for the wounded, and honoring the fallen. That story is told at the U.S. Army Chaplain Corps Museum.

Since 29 July 1775, approximately 25,000 Army chaplains have served as religious and spiritual leaders for 25 million Soldiers and their families. Army chaplains and religious affairs specialists have performed their ministries in the most religiously diverse organization in the world.
