Any clergyman can be asked to preside over a military funeral.
The "Ch" stands for Chaplain and "Lt Col" means Lieutenant Colonel. The military has Chaplains from numerous religious backgrounds serving the needs of todays soldier. Rank is extremely important in the military, but Chaplains hold a special place in the military. The Chaplain is there to support the religious needs and is depended on more as a Chaplain instead of like a regular officer.
An Army chaplain, or a chaplain from any branch of the military, is typically refered to as "Chaplain Jones". Typically, chaplains are not refered to by rank, as the calling into the chaplaincy is a higher calling than any rank the officer might attain. `Father'' is a term of address for priests in some churches (especially the Roman Catholic Church or the Orthodox Catholic Church); `Padre'' is frequently used in the military
In the US military, and by the Geneva conventions, a Chaplain MAY carry a firearm for the purpose of "Protecting the wounded from wild animals". They do not define wild animals.
