List of US Army Chaplain Corps regimental awards
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the purpose of acknowledging dedication and achievement as well as accomplishments which merit recognition for their credit to the mission of the Chaplain Corps, the following have been authorized to be conferred upon those individuals deemed to have demonstrated the highest standards of integrity and moral character, displayed an outstanding degree of professional competence, selflessly served Soldiers and Families, and contributed to the promotion of the Army Chaplaincy.
The character and meaning of all Chaplain Corps awards are exemplified in Nurture, Care and Honor competencies and "Live the Call" charge of the Chaplain Corps.[1] Accordingly, only actions taken and support rendered "without which the mission of the Army Chaplain Corps would have been impaired," or "which was necessary to the continuance of or enhancement of the overall Army Chaplain Corps mission," and deeds of defined acts of Faithfulness, Humility, Selflessness, and Sacrifice should be considered. As a result, nominees of all awards must demonstrate the highest levels of integrity, moral character, effective commitment to religious or military professionalism, and personal demonstration of the Army and Sacred Values of the Chaplin Corps.[2]
