From the Paper:

"In order for the chaplain to be used by God, the chaplain must rely on the Holy Spirit for guidance.
"Chaplains must have a good relationship with God and the Holy Spirit. A chaplain must allow the Holy Spirit to guide, teach, comfort, and protect in his or her own life. Having a good relationship with God enables the chaplain to help others. Sometimes the words the chaplain says to others will make the difference in life and death. Military people rely on the chaplain to guide them and to help them understand the promises of God."
