text: Introduction
  ADP 1-01 defines Army doctrine as fundamental principles, with supporting tactics, techniques, procedures,
  and terms and symbols, used for the conduct of operations and which the operating force, and elements of
  the institutional Army that directly support operations, guide their actions in support of national objectives.
  It is authoritative but requires judgement in application. FM 1-05 is a key integrating publication that links
  the doctrine for the Chaplain Corps with Army and joint doctrine. FM 1-05 provides operational guidance
  for commands and religious support personnel at all echelons and forms the foundation for all United States
  Army Chaplain Center and School curricula.
  This manual contains four chapters. Chapter 1 describes religious support foundations, including the
  historical precedents for the Army Chaplain Corps as well as its roles, missions, and functions. Chapter 2
  delineates the current operational environment, including the requirement to provide religious support across
  the range of military operations. Chapter 3 details the execution of religious support at the different echelons
  of command within our Army. Chapter 4 depicts planning for religious support across the conflict continuum
  using the operations process.
  The principles of Army religious support doctrine presented in this manual enable chaplains and religious
  affairs specialists to apply creative, flexible, and innovative approaches to specific missions and operational
  environments. Chaplains and religious affairs specialists serving in a joint force land component command
  or a joint task force should refer to JP 3-0, Joint Operations, JG 1-05, Religious Affairs in Joint Operations,
  and other joint planning publications for further guidance. FM 1-05 is nested with JP 3-0 and JG 1-05.
  The Army is the principal land force, organized, trained, and equipped to conduct prompt and sustained
  operations on land. The Army is responsible for deploying forces at any time, in any environment, against
  any adversary and must be able to operate for extended periods across the range of military operations.
  In order to support the free exercise of religion within the Army, chaplain sections and unit ministry teams
  must be able to function within operational environments possessing a full range of threats. Chaplain sections
  and unit ministry teams sustain Soldiers across the range of military operations; from military engagement,
  security cooperation, and deterrence, to crisis response and limited contingency operations, to large-scale
  combat operations.
  Everything the Army does for our nation is done by Soldiers who are supported by their Family members.
  The principles of Army religious support doctrine presented in this field manual enable chaplain sections and
  unit ministry teams to apply creative, flexible, and innovative approaches to specific missions and operational
  environments as it supports the Soldier and Family. Chaplains have served in the U.S. Army since the first
  days of the American Revolution and many have died in combat. These chaplains represented more than 120
  separate denominations and faith groups from across America. Seven chaplains have been awarded the Medal
  of Honor for heroism above and beyond the call of duty. Many chaplains and religious affairs specialists have
  received other medals for valor. The personal needs of Soldiers, the mission at hand, their own faith, and
  emerging religious support doctrine, guided these chaplains and religious affairs specialists as they met the
  goal to uphold the free exercise of religion guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Constitution of the
  United States.
  To meet the historic mission of the Chaplain Corps in the midst of a complex and lethal operational
  environment, the Army’s religious support doctrine must evolve. Specifically, several factors necessitate a
  new religious support doctrine—
  * Large-scale combat operations against a peer adversary increases the complexity, lethality, and
  operational tempo demands upon individuals and formations.
  * Precision fire capabilities and antiaccess and area denial complicate delivery of the Chaplain
  Corps’ core competencies of nurturing the living, caring for the wounded, and honoring the dead.
