C32 The Regimental chaplain lands with the eche- lon to which assigned. Upon landing he will establish liaison with the Adjutant, Regimental Surgeon, Graves Registration Section, and other chaplains of the Regi- ment. At the earliest practicable time he will estab- lish contact with the Division chaplain. As appropriate thereafter he will accomplish the following: I aj Obtain information as soon as possible from the Adjutant as to the location of the temporary Regi- mental Cemetery. fbj Provide for proper religious rites in the burial of deceased personnel in the Regimental area, should a temporary Regimental Cemetery be established. fcj Establish and maintain contact with medical installations in support of the Regiment, making daily visit to those installations along with other chaplains. Cdl Administer spiritual aid and conduct Divine Services. fel Off er assistance to the wounded in communicat- ing with relatives in order to alleviate undue anxiety and worry. ffl Perform Religious Services where and when- ever possible. The approval of the Commanding Of- ficer will be obtained when arranging any Service which would require a gathering of a group of men. fgj Assure the availability of chaplains for men coming out of action and those about to enter combat. Q41 The Unit chaplain's ordinary battle station during combat will be the Battalion or Regimental Aid Station. Chaplains will not limit their availabil- ity by joining any small unit or individual patrol. f5l Chaplains of supporting Units will be held available by the Division chaplain to be used with forward units or for immediate replacement for chap- lain casualties. Chaplains thus used will be returned to their units when no longer needed with combat elements. C61 Unit Commanders will provide necessary transportation to enable chaplains to carry out their duties expeditiously. f7j As soon as the opportunity is afforded, Unit chaplains will prepare letters of condolence to next of kin of those lost in action. These letters will be properly channeled through the command. Should the operation be extended over a long period of time, the Division chaplain, when the opportunity permits, will process these letters. The Division Chaplain's Office will assist by obtaining the following necessary information relative to the deceased: Cal Name, rank, serial number. Cbj Date of death, place of burial. fel Religion. fdl Name and address of next of kin. Q81 At such intervals as are appropriate, the Divi- sion chaplain, with the approval of the Commanding General should arrange a Memorial Ceremony at the Division Cemetery or at a site selected by the Com- manding General. 4. Equipment fal Prior to operations in the field, chaplains will procure the portable ecclesiastical equipment issued by the Chaplains Division, BuPers. Care should be taken that each chaplain has enough consumable altar sup- plies to last for at least l month's use. The Division chaplain will procure replacements through regular supply channels. To expedite this procurement a chaplain with a rear Unit should be designated as a supply chaplain. Arrangements should be made for the following items in the field: a portable typewriter with ofiice supplies, a 2.9 cubic foot field desk, and two camp stools. 6. Collateral Duties Cal The primary work of the chaplain is spiritual and moral leadership. He will therefore not be re- quired to undertake duties of any other nature that would absorb the major portion of his time, and thus cause him to neglect his chaplain duties.
