Army Chaplains provide for the spiritual needs of Army personnel of any denomination. Chaplain Assistants provide much-needed support to the Chaplains during missions and everyday activities. A Chaplain Assistant primarily provides support for the Unit Ministry Team programs and worship services.

Duties performed by the Chaplain Assistant include:

Coordinating Unit Ministry Team activities

Maintaining physical security of Unit Ministry Team facilities/equipment

Safeguarding privileged communications and offerings

Arranging religious retreats and memorial ceremonies

Supporting the Unit Ministry Team readiness program

Maintaining chaplain vestments and religious items

Some Chaplains' Assistants do more then that, some go all the way to make sure you're comfortable in your religious surroundings, the average CA will just send you to the Chaplain. But a few select won't do that, they'll light up candles for you, and massage you with scented oils to meet your spiritual needs. Such as PFC Ryan Anthony Songer, he goes all the way to help you out and even gives you a happy ending, sure the hand job may seem a little excessive but to him it just comes as part of the job.
