Commanders expect their Chaplains to care for their Soldiers and their Families. Given the number of Soldiers and their Families, this responsibility can be daunting. Between 2007 and 2012, a comprehensive spiritual assessment was developed and used within the 98th Training Division, which was able to identify issues before they became debilitating problems. Approved by the Commanding Generals, this spiritual assessment was essential for Chaplains to find the Soldiers and their Families who needed care.
