upon  request.  Shown  below  is  a  sample  list  of some   of   the   professional   counseling   resource personnel and agencies which may be listed: Pastoral  counselors Social  workers Family  counselors Counseling  psychologists  or  psychiatrists Community   agencies   which   may   provide counseling  services: Mental  Health  Clinics Social  Services  Agencies The  United  Way  Organization Family  Service  Agencies Catholic  Family  and  Child  Service  Cen- ters Regional  Pastoral  Counseling  Associa- tion  (a  nondenominational  network  uti- lizing religious facilities) Military facilities which may be utilized: Naval  Regional  Medical  Centers Counseling  and  Assistance  Centers Family  Services  Centers These and other counseling agencies and profes- sionals  should  be  listed  in  the  Information  and Referral  (I&R)  Directory  which  the  RP  main- tains for the chaplain’s use. It is imperative that the  RP  maintain  a  current  listing  of  resource agencies in order to ensure that referral informa- tion   is   continually   available   for   command chaplains. MILITARY  CHAPELS  ASHORE Of  all  the  buildings  located  on  a  military base,  the  chapel  is  unique  in  that  its  architectural form  generally  reveals  its  function.  It  is  impor- tant  to  note  that  chapel  facilities  are  Govern- ment  property  and  are  not  controlled  or regulated  by  the  religious  bodies  of  America. Their  purpose  is  to  support  a  Command Religious   Program.   The   commanding   officer has the authority to utilize buildings designated as   chapels   for   a   multitude   of   religious, command,  and  civil  activities.  Normally,  the command  chaplain  serves  as  an  advisor  to  the commanding  officer  on  the  use  of  chapel facilities. The RP assists the command chaplain by  ensuring  that  Department  of  Defense  policy and  local  command  directives  are  followed  con- cerning  the  proper  utilization  of  chapel  spaces. THE  CRP  ABOARD  SHIP It is expected that personnel who are serving aboard   naval   vessels   will   have   religious   pro- grams  made  available  on  a  regular  basis  which includes  provision  for  the  sacraments  and ordinances   of   their   particular   faith   group.   A variety of arrangements has been made to ensure that naval personnel are afforded the right to the ministrations of their religion. It is customary to have Navy chaplains assigned to specific ships to provide this ministry. The chaplain may also be transferred  to  other  ships  to  conduct  worship services   when   operations   permit.   The   Navy Department  is  now  assigning  RPs  to  ships  with chaplains   to   provide   support   in   the   areas   of religious  programming  and  administration. When  a  ship  with  only  one  chaplain  is  in port,  the  chaplain  may  provide  services  for  per- sonnel  of  other  faith  groups  by  arranging  to have  other  chaplains  or  civilian  clergy  invited aboard   to   conduct   services,   or   by   sponsoring church  parties  to  locations  off  the  ship.  At  sea, the chaplain may provide for those of other faith groups  primarily  by  supervising  lay  leadership programs. Special  kits  containing  prayer  books,  re- corded  sacred  music,  and  other  equipment  have been   developed   to   support   the   Command Religious  Program  at  sea.  The  RP  needs  to  be familiar with the ordering procedures for obtain- ing  materials  that  may  be  necessary  to  support the  CRP  aboard  ship. 1-17
