Hmmm

With the term chaplain, I'm going to expect some kind of blessings, minor heals, and defensive buffs, in a magic setting

If it's non or low magic, I'd want to see morale focused abilities, maybe low grade calming ability via sermons, the skills to read body language and facial expressions, that kind of thing.

If they're also a combatant, then I'd think of them as a paladin without smiting abilities. A support class that's more back line. They might jump on a grenade to save their fellow soldiers, but they wouldn't pick up their rifle and avenge them as a general rule.
