Coast Guard sacks top chaplain due to ‘loss of confidence’The Coast Guard this week fired its senior military chaplain, only months after praising him as “instrumental in the upliftment of the U.S. Coast Guard’s spiritual and moral framework.”
“The Coast Guard determined Mode failed to demonstrate the requisite judgment expected from his key leadership position,” the service said. The statement did not clarify how Coast Guard officials arrived at their decision. Capt. Richard Ryan, the Coast Guard’s Atlantic Area chaplain, will assume the duties as chaplain of the Coast Guard until a permanent replacement is identified, officials said.
The number of chaplains in the Coast Guard grew by more than 25% since April 2022 when he became its senior spiritual leader, the Coast Guard confirmed in a December 2023 statement. The service also noted a reduction in suicides in 2023, calling it a testament to services for personnel such as the chaplain-supported enhanced resiliency programs.
