Well, I can only speak for myself, so let me share my vision. I envision a much more communicative Army and Army Chaplaincy in the 21st century. I believe our sophisticated means of communication will force us into a higher degree of sophistication, too. Many Army leaders already envision the use of telecommunications on the battlefield. In fact, an ad in a recent Army publication promoted a computer so portable and compact it fits on your belt.
Many units already use laptops in field operations.
Surely, we can begin to see the possibilities in this already. They will definitely need a chaplain during all this. Prepared with this information, but without betraying any battle plan secrets, he maneuvers his battalion chaplains into more strategic positions to minister more effectively when the time comes. The chaplains then move into place in ample time to minister to the troops when the fighting starts. Maybe you can imagine a better scenario, but hopefully, you get my point.
