An Air Force article highlights US Air Force Chaplain (Maj) Michael Medas, a Roman Catholic Priest who has joined the Vermont Air National Guard.

The article notes that Medas, like all chaplains, serve the entire military community, regardless of the beliefs any individual may hold:

As a military chaplain Medas provides religious services to all Air Force personnel. He has worked with faiths including Catholicism, Judaism and non-faith beliefs such as Atheism. The primary goal of an Air Force Chaplain is to support all members of the Air Force not only in their spiritual or religious needs but also in their personal lives…

“One of my goals,” Medas said, “is for people to hear that their wing chaplain acknowledges there are many different ways to approach spirituality and religion, and for them to be comfortable coming to our office for any of their needs.”

Chaplains serve the spiritual needs of all US military troops regardless of where they are, and even regardless of what they may believe.
