Office of the Command Chaplain

Mission

The Command Chaplain reports directly to the U.S. Africa Command commander for three major purposes: providing advice and awareness on matters related to religion, ethics and morale; coordinating sustained chaplain engagements in support of a stable and secure African environment; and ensuring spiritual care is provided for U.S. Africa Command personnel, families and operations.


Vision

To increase spiritual strength, thereby enhancing the stability and security on the continent of Africa and its island nations by fostering trusted relationships with African military chaplains, religious leaders, interagency and international partners, and non-governmental organizations.
