PREPARING FOR A PROTESTANT FIELD
SERVICE.— The first step is to erect the portable
Lee altar. You should then take the following steps:
1. Place the chaplain’s kit in a convenient place
and open it.
2. Remove the Bible stand and place it in the
center of the altar.
3. Remove the plastic linen package and lay it
to one side.
4. Remove the cross and center it to the rear of
the altar.
5. Remove the candleholders containing the
candles and place them at the rear corners of
the altar.
6. Remove the chaplain’s stole if the chaplain
intends to use it.
7. Extract the linen package and move the
chaplain’s kit to a location where it will not
be in the way during the service.
