  3-7. Multifunctional and functional brigades add capabilities such as attack and reconnaissance aviation,
  fires, contracting support, or sustainment. They are normally attached to a corps or division, but might be
  aligned under the command of a joint or multinational headquarters.
  3-8. Chaplains and religious affairs specialists execute RS tasks within all of these formations, from ASCC
  down to battalion. The execution of RS tasks within an AO is integrated throughout all levels of command.
  RS tasks focus on the timely delivery and resourcing of RS for the command and advising commanders on
  the impact of religion in an OE. While the RS requirement is consistent, how RS is executed for a specific
  unit or echelon of command requires detailed mission analysis. Analysis impacts the planning, preparation,
  execution, and assessment of RS. The execution phase requires chaplains and religious affairs specialists
  capable of aggressively adapting and focusing their operations within the capabilities of their unit. RS tasks
  are impacted by terrain, distance, and ability to provide a personal presence. Chaplains and religious affairs
  specialists at all levels leverage available technology to support the planning, preparing, execution, and
  assessment of their respective RS tasks. Chaplains and religious affairs specialists must not only be proficient
  tactically and professionally in order to execute their mission, they must understand the unit’s capabilities in
  order to deliver effective and responsive RS.
  RELIGIOUS SUPPORT IN THE THEATER ARMY
  3-9. The ASCC chaplain is the senior Army component chaplain functioning in a Title 10, United States
  Code role and who supervises all Army RS in the theater. The ASCC chaplain is responsible for
  recommending RS policy to the ASCC commander.
  3-10. The ASCC chaplain coordinates with the other Service component chaplaincies to synchronize
  religious coverage concepts, conduct joint RS plans, integrate religious area analysis, liaise with military and
  civilian personnel, and advise the commander regarding religious issues. Religious issues at this level of war
  are inherently complex and impact strategic and operational outcomes. The assigned world religions chaplain
  provides advisement for the ASCC and subordinate units in the AO. The chaplain section integrates RS
  functions into the theater commander’s command master religious plan. The ASCC chaplain section
  recommends and coordinates RS throughout the AO in support of commander requirements. The chaplain
  section coordinates with subordinate chaplains and religious affairs specialists to synchronize RS execution,
  training, policy, ecclesiastical resupply, and funding for RS tasks in the AO. The ASCC chaplain
  communicates regularly with the senior chaplains in each joint task force or joint force land component
  command.
  3-11. Each theater army headquarters normally has organizations providing theater-level capabilities aligned
  with it or under its control and each may have Regular Army, Army National Guard, and United States Army
  Reserve UMTs operating within these formations. These can include—
  * Theater sustainment command.
  * Theater network command or brigade.
  * Military intelligence brigade-theater.
  * Regionally focused civil affairs brigade or planning team.
  * Regionally focused medical command.
  * Functional commands (engineer, military police, criminal investigation, and aviation).
  * Functional brigades (civil affairs, engineer, theater aviation, military police, medical, and CBRN).
  RELIGIOUS SUPPORT IN THE CORPS
  3-12. The chaplain sections at corps supervise the overall RS effort within the corps AO. Corps chaplains
  serve as senior advisors to commanders at all levels of command. The chaplain section collects, processes,
  analyzes, and disseminates a broad base of RS information. Proper staffing procedures and coordination
  through command, staff, and technical channels with commanders, staff, and subordinate chaplain sections
  and UMTs support the execution of RS within these large areas of operation. Corps chaplains shape and
  guide the tactical and professional proficiency of subordinate chaplains and religious affairs specialists,
  which directly impacts the successful execution of RS. This supervisory role is exercised through integration
  into the operations process, frequent personal contact with subordinate chaplains and religious affairs
