INTRODUCTION
As a chaplain assistant, you will be expected to visit soldiers in your unit
under various situations. These visits may occur in any one of many places
such as: the barracks, the dining facility, the recreation center, in the
training areas, on the ranges---in fact just about any place you find
soldiers.
You as the chaplain assistant will play a vital role in initiating and
maintaining contact between the soldier and the Unit Ministry Team (UMT).
Often, you will be able to establish contact with individuals whom the
chaplain may not be able to reach directly. As you conduct your visits, you
should remember to try to visit all the soldiers in your unit, not just
those you easily relate to or feel comfortable with.
