The military relations program helps ensure that the blessings of Church participation are available to members who serve in the military. The Church program consists of (1) Church orientation for members who enter military service, (2) support from stakes and wards regardless of where military members are stationed throughout the world, (3) the organization of service member groups when members in military service are unable to attend local wards or branches, and (4) endorsement of qualified individuals who desire to become military chaplains in the various branches of service. This site is designed to help priesthood leaders understand their responsibilities and to provide resources to help strengthen and support Church members in the military.
