Chaplains are the spiritual leaders of the National Guard. Their mission

and their families to exercise their constitutional right to the free
exercise of religion. This is accomplished through religious
observances, providing pastoral care, confidential counseling, and
advising leadership on spiritual, ethical, moral, morale, core values,
and religious accommodation issues. Chaplains lead the Strong Bonds program in partnership with the
Airman and Family Readiness Program Coordinator and assist
commanders in building individual resiliency by strengthening the
military family. The core mission of Strong Bonds is to increase
individual service member and family readiness through relationship
education and skills training. Retreats are offered for singles, married
couples, and families.
Chaplains help service members and their families during all phases of
the deployment cycle. They play a key role in the Yellow Ribbon
Reintegration Program as they conduct a variety of workshops for
married and single service members, offer individual and family
counseling, and provide worship services during the weekend events.
Chaplains provide suicide prevention training, crisis intervention after
a traumatic event, and spiritual resiliency retreats for service members
before and after a deployment. Chaplains lead a Religious Support Team (RST) which consists of the
Chaplain and a trained Chaplain Assistant. The Chaplain Assistant is an
enlisted service member who serves as an extra set of eyes and ears
for the RST as they support the ministry of Chaplains.
