  operations to shape security environments, prevent conflict, prevail in ground combat, and consolidate gains.
  (See ADP 3-0 for a discussion of land operations.) Chaplains and religious affairs specialists must be able to
  deliver RS across the ROMO while coping with the physical, moral, spiritual, and psychological demands
  unified action places on themselves and the Service members they serve.
  1-7. The intensity, brutality, and lethality of large-scale combat operations confront our Army with
  challenges and opportunities which demand focused training. To accomplish future missions, the Army
  requires forces that exhibit a high degree of adaptability. Adaptability is the ability to shape conditions and
  respond effectively to a changing operational environment (OE) with appropriate, flexible, and timely
  actions. Adaptability impacts the way chaplain sections and UMTs provide RS. The Army requires adaptable
  and flexible chaplains and religious affairs specialists with the capacity to successfully function in an OE that
  is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous, marked by rapid change, and executed under austere and
  isolated conditions. The Army requires trained chaplains and religious affairs specialists capable of critically
  assessing an operational situation and quickly adapting RS tasks to sustain Service members across the
  ROMO. Training is the most important thing the Army does to prepare for operations, and it is the cornerstone
  of combat readiness.
  ORGANIZATION
  1-8. Chaplain sections and UMTs consist of at least one chaplain and one religious affairs specialist, based
  on organizational requirements. Army chaplains and religious affairs specialists form a UMT at brigade and
  below, and chaplain section at echelons above brigade. The chaplain section or UMT is identified according
  to a modified table of organization and equipment or a table of distribution and allowances in an Army force.
  A UMT assigned to a modified table of organization and equipment unit is known as a mission unit UMT.
  Chaplain sections and UMTs are embedded into the Army force structure as organic and central to the
  organization. The chaplain section or UMT is authorized by the modified table of organization and equipment
  for units whose primary mission is warfighting. The chaplain section or UMT deploys with the unit and
  provides RS for all units (assigned or attached by task organization) and authorized civilians during each
  phase of an operation. RS requires the assignment and deployment of chaplains and religious affairs
  specialists at all echelons, beginning at battalion. Each echelon of chaplain sections or UMTs executes
  technical supervision and advisement responsibilities for subordinate chaplain sections and UMTs.
  CHAPLAIN CORPS CAPABILITIES
  1-9. The Army requires the capability to provide RS and the capability to advise commanders on the impact
  of religion. These two required capabilities reflect the dual role of the Chaplain Corps: religious leader and
  professional military religious advisor:
  * As religious leaders, the Army requires the capability to provide RS across austere and isolated
  locations, which accommodates Service members’ right to the free exercise of religion and
  supports resiliency efforts to sustain Service members in combat. RS tasks sustain the individual
  Service member, extending upward throughout the entire command structure and outward to the
  broadest command audience authorized. RS is comprehensive because every individual personally
  defines what constitutes RS. While not every religious need of every Soldier can be met, chaplains
  and religious affairs specialists seek to meet as many needs as possible. (See ADRP 1-03,
  ART 4.2.4.1 for religious tasks.)
  * As the professional military religious advisor, the chaplain advises the commander and staff on
  religion, ethics, morals, and morale, and their impact on all aspects of military operations. (See
  ADRP 1-03, ART 4.2.4.3 for religious tasks.)
  RELIGIOUS LEADER
  1-10. Leadership is defined by the Army as the process of influencing people by providing purpose,
  direction, and motivation to accomplish the mission and improve the organization (ADP 6-22). As religious
  leaders, chaplains provide RS to the Army and joint force. As a leadership team, chaplain sections or UMTs
  support the commander’s responsibility to provide for free exercise of religion for all authorized personnel.
  The chaplain provides RS that meets the religious and spiritual requirements of the unique military culture.
