obliged to meet the mission of the church. In the Navy, a roster is maintained of chaplains who are acceptable to the government. Chaplains are re- quired  to  meet  the  mission  of  the  command  as a  part  of  the  naval  service. COMMAND   RELIGIOUS PROGRAMS   ASHORE A  Command  Religious  Program  ashore  will vary  from  a  civilian  parish  model  in  the  follow- ing ways. l  The  Command  Religious  Program  has  no parochial  membership  as  in  civilian  churches. . Rather than meeting the needs of only one faith  group,  as  in  civilian  churches,  the  Command Religious  Program  must  meet  the  needs  of  all assigned  personnel,  regardless  of  their  faith  group. l  Command  mission,  watch  bills,  work schedules,   or   other   factors   may   necessitate scheduling worship outside the traditional times for  worship  that  are  observed  in  the  public sector. For example, at a naval air station a flight line  crew  may  have  worship  services  conducted during a lull in operations (between flight prepara- tions);  or  because  of  operations,  marines  in  the field  may  need  to  have  worship  services  on Tuesday  instead  of  Sunday.  In  other  words,  the Command   Religious   Program   should   not   be limited  by  rigid  confinement  to  a  certain  time  and place, but creative planning will be necessary in order to provide religious services and programs for  all  members  who  desire  them. COMMAND   RELIGIOUS PROGRAMS  ABOARD  SHIP It  is  expected  that  those  personnel  who  are serving aboard naval vessels will have religious programs  made  available  on  a  regular  basis  as command   operations   permit.   A   variety   of arrangements have been made to ensure that naval personnel  aboard  ship  are  afforded  the  right  to the  ministrations  of  their  religion,  including provisions for the sacraments and ordinances of their   faith   group.   Chaplains   are   assigned   to specific   ships   and   squadrons   to   provide   this ministry.  When  operations  permit,  the  chaplain may also be transported to other ships to conduct worship services. Chaplains may also provide for services for members of other faiths by supervis- ing lay reader programs. The Department of the Navy  is  now  assigning  RPs  to  all  ships  with chaplains  to  provide  professional  support  in  the areas of religious programming and administra- tion.  Special  kits  containing  prayer  books, recorded sacred music, and other equipment have been   developed   to   support   the   Command Religious  Program  at  sea.  The  leading  RP must  ensure  that  this  kit  is  fully  stocked  at  all times. PLANNED   MINISTRY OBJECTIVES (PMO) An   area   of   involvement   in   the   Command Religious   Program   by   the   RP   staff,   and particularly  the  leading  RP,  is  assisting  the command  chaplain  in  the  development  of  the Planned   Ministry   Objectives   (PMO)   report. OPNAVINST   1730.1A   states   that   the   PMO report  should  be  developed  in  detail  for  the  budget year and out years and that it should be forwarded via  the  chain  of  command  to  the  cognizant claimant  staff  chaplain  for  guidance.  Important considerations, such as budget, manpower alloca- tions, watch bills, morale, mobilization plans, and operations,  may  be  affected  by,  and  impact  on, a  detailed  PMO  report. The PMO report must establish objectives for ministry  that  meet  the  religious  needs  of  all assigned personnel and their dependents. When practical,  the  objectives  should  include,  but  not necessarily be limited to, the following services. DIVINE  SERVICES The  planned  ministry  objectives  report  should include  arrangements  for  divine  services  each sabbath  and  may  include  details  for  divine services  daily.  The  leading  RP  should  submit  a duty roster to the command chaplain to provide personnel  support  for  the  preparation  of  chapel spaces  for  these  services.  Large  shore  installations provide  a  full  schedule  of  services  on  Sundays  and weekdays.  This  enables  command  personnel  to attend  the  service  of  their  choice.  Large  shore installations  normally  have  a  minimum  of  two chaplains  assigned,  one  of  which  is  likely  to  be a  Roman  Catholic  priest.  Chaplains  conduct public worship according to the manner and form of  their  own  particular  faith  group.  They  may wear the vestments of their own liturgical tradi- tion as appropriate.
