(Next 14 slides courtesy of: CPT Darius Davenport, Military Law Attorney OSJA TRADOC)
Sensitive InformationAR 165-1

assistant, or other chaplain support personnel that involves personally sensitive
information that would not be a proper subject for general dissemination.
Sensitive Information -- Cont.
Knowledge of a soldier’s enrollment in Drug & Alcohol Programs, Psychiatric
Treatment, Prior Arrest or Prior Hospitalization is generally considered as
Sensitive Information.
Privileged CommunicationAR 165-1
A privileged communication is defined as any communication to a chaplain or chaplain assistant given as a formal act of religion or as a matter of conscience. It is a communication that is made in confidence to a chaplain acting as spiritual advisor.
The Chaplain and chaplain assistant will not divulge privileged communication without the written consent
of the person(s) authorized to claim privilege.
Privilege CommunicationUCMJ Rules of Evidence Rule 503
A person has a privilege to refuse to disclose and prevent another from
disclosing a confidential communication by the person to a clergyman or to a
clergyman’s assistant, if such communication is made as a formal act of religion or as a matter of conscience.
U.S. v. Moreno
Three Part Test1. Communication must be formal act of
religion or as a matter of conscience.2. Must be made to a clergyman in his
capacity as a spiritual advisor.3. Communication must be intended to
be confidential.
Confessional Communication
Confession made as a Sacramental Act to a chaplain may not be disclosed EVEN with the permission of the
individual.
This is the “seal” of the confessional.
Discussion Problem #1
• Soldier makes appointment with battalion chaplain.• Soldier feels he’d hurt himself unless he got some help.• Chaplain warns soldier that expressions of intent to harm self/others would not be treated confidentially.• Chaplain testifies in court to support motion to suppress.• Chaplain provides statements made before warning.
U.S. v. ISHAM
• Chaplains testimony was protected.• The Soldier went to the Chaplain in his spiritual capacity at a business hour appointment.• The Soldier made statements while under great mental distress & only to get help.• Chaplain and Soldiers intent was to preserve confidentiality but only disclose information that was necessary to help the Soldier.
Discussion Problem #2
• Soldier, Catholic, married, having family problems• Engaged in sexual acts with daughter• Calls pastor, also father-in-law, discloses sexual acts• “Dad, can you help me? My marriage is falling apart …”• “Son, is it true you took liberties with your daughter?”• “Yes, Dad, and I feel like a dog … will you pray for me?”• “Yes, I will.”• Soldier not a member of pastor’s church
U.S. v. Coleman
• Statements were allowed.• Statements were to father-in-law not Pastor.• Not made as a formal act of religion or matter of conscience.• Not intended to be confidential.
Free Exercise of Religion
• First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution• Army Policy• Accommodation Review Committee• Chaplain as Subject Matter Expert on Religion
Accommodation of ReligionAR 600-20 and DA Pam 600-75

practices when they will not have an adverse impact on readiness, unit
cohesion, health, safety, discipline, or otherwise interfere with the Soldier’s
military duties.”

“I look upon the spiritual life of the soldier as even more important than his physical equipment. The
soldier’s heart, the soldier’s spirit, the soldier’s soul are everything. Unless the soldier’s soul
sustains him, he cannot be relied upon and will fail himself and his country in the end.”
-General George C. Marshall, Former Chief of Staff of the Army
