Why "the" here?

0Hi,02br
02br
00I have a sentence here and can you tell me why one would place "the" here in front of 01i00a seeming proper name02i00?02br
02br
00... continues to support the U.S. Navy Chaplain Corp and Chapel programs.02br
02br
00 Is that because the name U.S. always precedes with "the"?02br
02br
00Also, can I use the adjective "seeming" like the "question" sentence?0-

00I would think simply because it applies to 'programs' not to 'US Navy chaplain'. It seems you're talking about a sustained support to the programs that the US Navy Chaplain is leading or managing.02br
