FORWARD OPERATING BASE KALSU, Iraq - Reinforcements are something every unit loves to have; more Soldiers to help win the fight and save lives at the same time.

Those warriors who have experienced deployments away from friends and family might know how heavy that burden can feel. One of the reinforcements all branches of service have come to count on in time of need is the chaplain.
