WASHINGTON - An Army chaplain facing charges of forcible sodomy and assault is scheduled for court-martial proceedings Oct. 14.

The trial of Capt. Gregory Arflack, a Roman Catholic chaplain with the 279th Base Support Battalion, is scheduled to take place in Bamberg, Germany.

Arflack previously waived his right to an Article 32 hearing -- the military equivalent of a grand jury.

Arflack, 44, was charged in August with three counts each of forcible sodomy and indecent acts, two counts each of fraternization with enlisted service members and disobeying orders, and one count each of indecent assault and conduct unbecoming an officer.
