Excerpt from The Chaplain, Vol. 31

The Navy has proposed a reduction of 35 of its flag officers in 1974, 75 and 76. Twenty-six of these would be from the Unrestricted Line, three from the Restricted Line and six from the Staff Corps. One of the latter reductions would be from the Chaplain Corps, leaving a single Rear Admiral among approximately 860 chaplains.

Chaplaincy committees and executives of several major religious bodies have expressed concern to the Secretary of the Navy regarding the wisdom and rationale for includ ing the chaplaincy in this proposed reduction. The chap lainey in each of the military services has had two generals Or admirals on active duty for many years. They have not contributed to the great inflation of general and flag officers in other areas. It is interesting to note that the Army and Air Force recently selected new brigadier generals to be assigned as Deputy Chiefs of Chaplains. Only the Navy proposes to move in the opposite direction.
