  TRAINING
  3-29. Training is the most important thing the Army does to prepare for operations, and it is the cornerstone
  of combat readiness. (See FM 7-0 for a discussion on training.) Army forces must remain trained and ready
  to conduct decisive action in support of unified land operations anywhere along the ROMO. This requires
  challenging, realistic, and consistent training under dynamic and complex conditions. RS training must be
  synchronized with and integrated into a unit’s training plan recognizing the unique capabilities and
  requirements of RS in support of the assigned unit’s mission. This might require leveraging subject matter
  experts in RS topics or military subject matter experts on topics outside of RS areas of expertise. The
  unexpected and rapid transition from phase 0 operations demands vigilance in terms of planning, execution,
  and assessment of training in order to ensure chaplains and religious affairs specialists are ready for large-
  scale combat operations regardless of their current unit of assignment or perceived removal from threats
  posed by potential adversaries.
  3-30. Chaplains and religious affairs specialists must understand the unit’s mission and the commander’s
  intent. Unit tasks are organized as mission-essential task lists. The mission essential task list is a list of those
  functions which a unit must always accomplish to achieve mission success based on its table of organization
  and equipment capabilities. Chaplains and religious affairs specialists train to the unit’s mission essential task
  list, utilizing the derived RS battle tasks. Chaplain sections and UMTs at all echelons of command have the
  responsibility to be tactically and technically proficient in order to execute their specific operational RS
  mission. Supervisory chaplains and religious affairs specialists train, mentor, and coordinate resources for
  subordinate chaplains and religious affairs specialists in order to meet the requirement of providing the Army
  with adaptive, technically and tactically proficient chaplain sections and UMTs. (See FM 7-0 for details on
  planning, executing, and assessing a unit training plan and ADRP 1-03 for universal tasks.)
  SUMMARY
  3-31. The execution of RS by chaplains and religious affairs specialists is imperative in all operations and at
  all echelons of command. The chaplain section and the UMT are the means by which the Army provides RS
  to Service members, Families, and civilians. RS provided during a military operation can occur under widely
  differing circumstances. At the battalion level, the UMT personally delivers RS to individuals within the
  command. At higher levels, the chaplain section and the UMT supervises the execution across the command
  to ensure RS requirements are met across the ROMO. This is essential to achieve execution of comprehensive
  RS throughout an AO. The method by which we prepare to deliver RS is recurring RS training executed as
  part of an integrated and synchronized unit training plan.
