Military chaplains have a proud history of serving alongside active duty soldiers. Although they do not carry firearms under the Geneva Convention, they accompany soldiers in all situations, providing guidance and counselling to all who ask for it, regardless of rank or religion. Reverend David N. Jackson is a Canadian chaplain serving NATO’s enhanced Forward Presence Battlegroup in Latvia. In this video, he explains his role in the Battlegroup and in particular how he has helped with guidance during the COVID-19 crisis. Footage includes various shots of Reverend Jackson in his chapel on base, walking around and talking with other Canadian soldiers.
