The Effects of Religion upon Mission
In order to train the UMT with the Unit we align the Chaplain’s Core Competencies with one of these three LOE’s to train UMT’s in these basic capabilities needed to provide ministry and religious support operations across a theater of operation.
This slide explains our process of training by linking the Core Competencies (FM 1-05), or Principles (AR 165-1) of the Chaplain CORPS to the Training Outputs for our training at First Army. This is done along their Lines of Efforts (LOE) which are based on our Capabilities as UMT’s and are guidelines for our assessment of training. Each UMT trained at First Army turns in a Training Assessment which determines the level of training and areas of focus in our training at First Army. We then move along the three LOE’s of Religious Support Planning, Religious Support Operations, and Spiritual Leadership to build a unit and mission specific training plan for the UMT. Using the TSP’s listed we train UMT’s in the three LOE’s and adapt the TSP to the theater specific or mission specific needs of the UMT. These task are then practiced in the units Culmination Training Exercise (CTE). In additions, what is not trained in a TSP is trained in the CTE. The CTE provides the UMT with an opportunity to test their skills and capabilities within a realistic environment to gain confidence for future missions. The Outputs of the training produces a UMT prepared to deliver Religious Support to their Command in the areas listed on the chart.

6. RS Training Focus for Sustained Readiness
We need to maximize training opportunities with Partnered Units and leverage Special Staff Training during CPXs.
