The mission of the D.C. National Guard Chaplain Corps is to provide religious support to our Soldiers, Airmen and their families.
In the pluralistic setting of the military, the Chaplains provides religious support to individuals from all faith traditions. To achieve this, Chaplains cooperate with one other without compromising the standards and tenets of their faith tradition.
Chaplains perform religious support activities according to their faith and conscience and provide religious support for those of other faith groups by coordinating with another chaplain or qualified individual to perform the support needed.
