BCTs and smaller units are closing these days as the Army downsizes. I am sure in the other branches units are also closing. I am going to a WTU that will be closing by the end of next year. Those who have worked in units that closed and cased their colors, I would like to hear from you. What are the most important concerns? As a Chaplain, I provide pastoral care. I am aware that several civilian employees may be facing job insecurity with the impending closing. How best can I provide care? What issues should I be aware of in a unit that is in the process of closing? Inventory, accountability, etc....yes. Got it. But what about legacies, unit history, personnel, etc? Seems to be a lot of emotion involved with closing a unit. I specifically am looking for ways to help smooth the transition from the Chaplain position. Any serious suggestions on how to advise the Commander would be helpful.
