Ah, ok. Well why they would ask chaplains to participate (they’re not taking over) is that they’re basically the ones in charge of burials and religious ceremonies. It makes sense to have them involved to make sure it’s all being done as humanely as possible.
Uh, idk. There is a world where a countries armed forces determining a safe procedure to deal with an extremely large mass casualty event is proper planning with chaplains. It’s a really bad look though for the US.

Tbh, I was picturing the chaplains digging, but overseeing and advising makes wayyyy more sense. Why have they never participated before?
They’ve probably done their training separately. You can learn how to give funeral rites in a classroom.
