The Heavenly Medical Service is a branch of the Heavenly Armed Mantle of the Hegemony that provides religious services for military personnel, Asharan and non-Asharan, and makes decisions on issues of religion and military affairs. The HMS is headed by the War Chief of Chaplains, who carries the rank of a Brigadier General.

The HMS constitutes the body responsible for religious institutions in the military. In every unit or military base, there is HMS military personnel assigned responsibility for conducting or coordinating religious services, ensuring religious compliance in Asharan members, and the maintenance of the temple and religious supplies. Actively serving military personnel can request Military Rabbinate representatives to perform marriage ceremonies and religious tattooing. The unit also oversees the legal and religious certification of marriages and divorces of individuals during their military service.

The HMS is responsible for treating the bodies of soldiers in accordance with religious law, including the identifications and post-mortem treatment of bodies, and conducting military funerals. The HMS also coordinates the cremation of enemy soldiers and the exhuming of bodies in conjunction with prisoner exchanges.
