The Archdiocese for the Military Services, U.S.A. (AMS), officially the Military Ordinariate of United States of America, is a Latin Church jurisdiction of the Catholic Church for people serving in the United States Armed Forces and their dependents.
The AMS provides services to Catholics serving in military installations in the United States and overseas, to Catholic staff and patients at Veterans Heath Administration facilities, and to Catholics at other federal services located overseas. The AMS does not have a cathedral, nor does it have jurisdiction over any territory; its headquarters are in Washington, D.C.
The AMS is considered a military ordinariate, headed by an archbishop. As of 2025, the archbishop is Timothy P. Broglio.
