Members of the RAChD are all fully ordained ministers sent into the Army with the authority of our various sending Churches. The wealth and diversity of experience that each chaplain brings helps create a department that is continually evolving at the cutting edge of multi-denominational and multi-faith ministry. Working together as a team lies at the heart of what it means to be an Army chaplain.

For centuries the Royal Army Chaplains\' Department (RAChD) has ministered to soldiers in times of peace and war. We are proud to provide spiritual leadership, moral guidance and pastoral support to all soldiers and their families, irrespective of religion or belief.

We wear the uniform of the British Army but do not carry arms. We are non-combatants who accompany our units in war and on operations around the world, providing the service of the Church in difficult situations. Initially we receive a three year commission, which, with satisfactory service, can be extended to age fifty five.

The Royal Army Chaplains\' Department (RAChD) is an all-officer corps that provides ordained clergy to minister to the British Army.

As of 2006, there are 151 serving regular chaplains (commonly known as "padres") in the British Army; these belong to either one of several Christian churches, or to the Jewish faith. Uniquely within the British Army, the Royal Army Chaplains\' Department has two cap badges, for its Christian and Jewish officers. There are also chaplains in the Territorial Army and the Army Cadet Force.

Army chaplains, although they are all commissioned officers of the British Army and wear uniform, do not carry arms (and are the only officers not to carry swords on parade). At services on formal occasions, chaplains wear their medals and decorations on their clerical robes (many chaplains have been decorated for bravery in action, including three Victoria Crosses).

The RAChD\'s motto is "In this Sign Conquer". Its regimental march, both quick and slow, is the Prince of Denmark\'s March, erroneously known as the Trumpet Voluntary.

From 1946 until 1996, the RAChD\'s Headquarters, Depot and Training Centre were at Bagshot Park in Surrey, now the home of the Earl and Countess of Wessex. In 1996, they moved to the joint service Armed Forces Chaplaincy Centre at Amport House near Andover, formerly the home of the Royal Air Force Chaplain Branch.

The Army Chaplains\' Department (AChD) was formed by Royal Warrant of 23 September 1796. Previously chaplains had been part of individual regiments, but not on the central establishment. Only Anglican chaplains were recruited until 1827, when Presbyterians were recognised. Roman Catholic chaplains were recruited from 1836, Methodist chaplains from 1881, and Jewish chaplains from 1892. The Department received the "Royal" prefix in February 1919 for its services during World War I.

The RAChD is the only branch of the Army to perpetuate the tradition of dividing supporting troops into "departments" (officers only) and "corps" (other ranks only).

Representative denominations in the RAChD

Chaplains are either classified as Jewish (currently only in the Territorial Army) or as a member of one of the following five Christian denominational groups:

Church of England (including the Church of Ireland, Church in Wales and Scottish Episcopal Church)
Church of Scotland (including the Presbyterian Church in Ireland)
Roman Catholic Church
Methodist Church
United Board, incorporating the Baptist Church, United Reformed Church and Congregational Church

However, an Army chaplain is expected to minister to and provide pastoral care to any soldier who needs it, no matter their denomination or faith or lack of it.

Most large stations have an Anglican chaplain, a Roman Catholic chaplain, and a third chaplain from a Protestant denomination. Every battalion or regiment also has its own chaplain.

Ranks

Chaplains are the only British Army officers who do not carry standard officer ranks. They are officially designated Chaplain to the Forces (CF) (e.g. "The Reverend John Smith CF"). They do, however, have grades which equate to the standard ranks and wear the insignia of the equivalent rank. Chaplains are usually addressed as "Padre" (pronounced /\'p??dre?/), never by their nominal military rank.

Chaplain-General (CG) = Major-General
Deputy Chaplain-General (DCG) = Brigadier
Chaplain to the Forces 1st Class (CF1) = Colonel
Chaplain to the Forces 2nd Class (CF2) = Lieutenant-Colonel
Chaplain to the Forces 3rd Class (CF3) = Major
Chaplain to the Forces 4th Class (CF4) = Captain

The senior Church of England Chaplain is an Archdeacon. The Senior Roman Catholic Chaplain, who usually ranks as a CF1, is normally a monsignor.
