Roman Catholic and Protestant Chaplains Field Kits
In addition to the Roman Catholic and Protestant chaplains combat kits
previously discussed, there are two other kits available for Roman Catholic
and Protestant chaplains use. These chaplains kits are intended for field use
under noncombat conditions. The type I field kit is intended for use by
Roman Catholic chaplains. The type II field kit is intended for use by
Protestant chaplains. Their preparation and use for divine services would be
similar to that of the Roman Catholic and Protestant combat kits. The con-
tents of the type I Roman Catholic chaplains kit and the type II Protestant
chaplains kit may be seen in the table below.
