Private First Class Gbain Augustine, left, a trumpeter in the Armed Forces of Liberia, bumps elbows with Capt. Mike Jones, Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion chaplain, 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division, Joint Forces Command – United Assistance, after Sunday morning church service in Monrovia, Liberia, Nov. 16, 2014. Chaplains serve as the commander’s subject matter expert on religion and the morality of the unit as well as provide worship services and counseling. The chaplains also bring those same services to Soldiers deployed to outlying camps in more remote locations. Bumping elbows has replaced hand shaking in an effort to reduce the spread of the Ebola Virus Disease. Operation United Assistance is a Department of Defense operation in Liberia to provide logistics, training and engineering support to U.S. Agency for International Development-led efforts to contain the Ebola virus outbreak in western Africa.
