Join us in welcoming the new 82nd Airborne Division Chaplain Page Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Brad Baumann who assumed the role from Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Jack Stumme during a Change of Stole Ceremony at the All American Chapel, June 12. Stumme said in his farewell speech, “I was part of the unit that demands nothing but the best.” “I’ll remember Paratroopers on the drop zone moving toward an objective with the same zeal as those moving toward Duke Children’s Hospital to volunteer.” 82nd Airborne Division Commanding General, Maj. Gen. John W. Nicholson Jr., said that the Chaplain plays a vital role. “The relationship between the commander and the chaplain is important. Unit ministry teams have the job of helping leaders and soldiers maintain their moral compass,” he said. Baumann said he was thankful to be a part of the 82nd Airborne Division. “Thank you for the opportunity to serve the finest division in our Army,” he said. “To the unit ministry teams, you are the best. I’m honored to be your Division Chaplain.”
