Chaplains Training Information

Mission

VDF Chaplains provide religious support to the Virginia Defense Force (VDF) across the full spectrum of its operations. The Chaplain Corps assists the Commanding General and Regimental Commanders in ensuring the right to free exercise of religion and providing spiritual, moral, and ethical leadership for, and in support of, the VDF, the Virginia Department of Military Affairs and civilians.

Activities

Chaplains in the VDF care for the spiritual well being of VDF personnel, members of the Virginia Department of Military Affairs such as the Virginia National Guard and their families, and civilians in times of need. VDF Chaplains are spiritual leaders, and they can be called upon to perform religious ceremonies from births and baptisms, confirmations and marriages, to illness and last rites, and to provide spiritual support in time of crisis or disaster.
