"This role, the Chaplaincy, is important," said U.S. Army-Pacific Commanding General, Gen. Vincent K. Brooks on May 14, who espoused the importance of the U.S. Army Chaplain Corps, its chaplains and chaplain assistants during a two-day training seminar. "It always has been; I believe it always will be. It has withstood the tests of time and pressure, and cultural change and ideologies, and laws and practices and accommodations, and still it's still there and the essence remains."
