elements;  i.e.,  medical,  dental  personnel.  In  a  mobile  or  combat  situation,  a  more likely  circumstance  is  one  in  which  only  the  chaplain’s  field  combat  kit  is  utilized. (See figure 3-7.) In this case, the contents of the chaplain’s kit or chaplain’s combat kit are set up for divine worship utilizing the most suitable area or space which can be  found.  If  necessary,  a  jeep  hood  or  stacked  mount-out  boxes  may  be  used  as  a makeshift  altar.  In  a  field  situation,  it  may  be  necessary  to  be  innovative  and creative  in  order  to  meet  the  demands  of  the  circumstances  under  which  you  are operating. In a combat situation, the primary concern should be the physical safety and security of the chaplain and the congregants when selecting a location for divine worship services. Only after this factor has been considered, should the selection of a location for divine worship or religious activities be made. FIELD AND SHIPBOARD ECCLESIASTICAL EQUIPMENT Certain  types  of  ecclesiastical  equipment  are  designed  specifically  for conducting  divine  and  services  afloat  and  in  the  field.  This  equipment  has been  reduced  in  size  and  weight  to  permit  easy  handling  and  to  use  a minimum  amount  of  space.  This  equipment  is  used  most  frequently  by chaplains who are assigned afloat or to Fleet Marine Force (FMF) and Navy 287.55(M1) Figure 3-7.—CHAPLAIN ON DUTY—A field service conducted by a Navy chaplain for the Marines of G Company, 3rd Platoon, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division in a combat area in the Republic of Vietnam. 3-13
