Which of the following is NOT a religious support function?

• A. Coordinating RS with local host-nation religious leaders as directed by the commander
• B. Providing pastoral care and counseling
• C. Administering religious rites, sacraments, and ordinances
• D. Organizing base recreation events

Answer: (D)

Religious support functions are about meeting Soldiers’ spiritual needs and enabling religious services within the unit. This includes coordinating with local host-nation religious leaders as directed by the commander to ensure appropriate religious liaison, providing pastoral care and counseling to personnel, and administering religious rites, sacraments, and ordinances. Organizing base recreation events, on the other hand, falls under morale, welfare, and recreation programs designed to support overall welfare and leisure, not under religious support. Therefore, organizing base recreation events is not a religious support function.
