The solar chromosphere is the most immediate and intermediary layer where competitive magnetic forces begin to dominate their thermodynamic counterparts. The chromosphere quickly responds to magnetic energy release processes, and is one of the early indicators of this energy release. Hence, understanding the nature of the magnetic field at the chromospheric layer is vital. Measurements of the chromospheric magnetic field, via spectropolarimetry polarimetry are necessary to constrain 3-D models of the magnetic field geometry via extrapolation methods. In this presentation we will describe the challenges for measuring and inferring the chromospheric magnetic field in solar-disk measurements. Examples of spectropolarimetric measurements in the spectral lines of CaII 8542 Å and HI 6563 Å will be illustrated.
