Chaplain Insignia Policy Record

PROBLEM: In 2026 the chaplain corps' visible identity changed twice: on March 24, 2026, Secretary of Defense Hegseth directed that all military chaplains would no longer wear grade insignia, replaced by the insignia of their religious affiliation; on June 23, 2026, the Secretary of the Army directed chaplains to wear branch insignia on the collars of the Army Combat Uniform instead of rank insignia. Two uniform changes in three months, with no single record of what changed and when.

SOLUTION: A chaplain insignia policy record: every uniform and insignia directive logged with its date, its authority, and what it replaced — so the corps' visible identity has a change log.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — Hegseth directive, March 24, 2026 (chaplains wear religious affiliation insignia instead of grade insignia); Secretary of the Army directive, June 23, 2026 (branch insignia on ACU collars instead of rank insignia). Both via Wikipedia, "United States military chaplains."
