Read the first 6 CCA Ethical Standards & Professional Conduct flashcards as text

  1. The principle of 'non-proselytization' as it applies to military chaplaincy means:

    Answer: Chaplains and CCAs must not coerce or pressure Soldiers to change their religious beliefs

    Non-proselytization means chaplaincy personnel must not use their position to pressure or persuade Soldiers to adopt a particular religious belief or practice.

  2. When a chaplain assistant learns sensitive personal information while supporting a chaplain's ministry, they are bound by:

    Answer: The Privacy Act and pastoral confidentiality standards

    CCAs are bound by the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a) and must also respect the pastoral confidentiality framework established by the chaplain they support.

  3. A Soldier asks the chaplain assistant for their personal opinion on whether the Soldier should divorce their spouse. The correct CCA response is to:

    Answer: Offer emotional support and refer the Soldier to speak with the chaplain

    The CCA provides compassionate listening and refers personal moral or spiritual questions to the chaplain, who is qualified to address them within a pastoral framework.

  4. Which Army regulation governs the professional and ethical standards for all Army Soldiers, including chaplain assistants?

    Answer: AR 600-20

    AR 600-20 (Army Command Policy) establishes command responsibilities including equal opportunity, sexual harassment prevention, and professional conduct standards.

  5. A chaplain assistant who uses their access to Soldiers' personal information to benefit a third party is violating:

    Answer: The Privacy Act of 1974 and ethical conduct standards

    Misuse of personal information obtained through official duties violates the Privacy Act and constitutes a serious breach of professional ethics.

  6. The term 'dual role conflict' for a chaplain assistant refers to:

    Answer: The tension between the CCA's Soldier duties and their role as a ministry support specialist

    Dual role conflict arises when a CCA's responsibilities as a Soldier (e.g., following orders, reporting) conflict with their role in supporting confidential ministry.
