Скачать или смотреть Inside a Coast Guard Chaplain’s Mission

From Sector San Juan in Puerto Rico, Coast Guard crews launch into some of the branch’s toughest assignments—while Chaplain Genesis Guerrero focuses on the people carrying them out. This story shows how a military chaplain supports spiritual, emotional, and relational health on base: praying over crews and cutters, meeting service members where they are (even at the gym or chow line), and offering 100% confidential conversations that help them unburden and perform at their best. The Pentagon is expanding the Chaplain Corps—with the Navy aiming for one chaplain on every destroyer by 2026 and recent recruiting bringing in 73 new active-duty chaplains plus 43 chaplain students—because leaders recognize spiritual readiness is mission-critical. If you’re curious how chaplains impact the Coast Guard, Navy, and Marine Corps, this video is a clear, on-the-ground look at sacred service.
