Abstract
This article examines the role of military chaplains who accompany soldiers on international military and peace-keeping operations, such as those in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, and Bosnia Herzegovina. It compares and contrasts the two principal traditions of military chaplaincy in the international field—chaplains within the military structure (as in the UK) and parish-based chaplains who remain outside the military (as in Germany). The authors examine the potential conflict between the religious vocation of military chaplains and their role in military operations, which can be particularly contentious from an ethical viewpoint. Interviews with chaplains from both countries provide a unique insight into their experiences.
