1. First Army “Building Ready Religious Support”
This is the 1A training process briefing.

2. Vision
To partner with the NG and USAR to advise, assist, and train Unit Ministry Teams capable of conducting Religious Support for Unified Land Operations
Mission
1A UMTs will:
1) provide direct religious support for all First Army Soldiers, Families, and Civilians, and
2) advise, assist and train Reserve Component Unit Ministry Teams to provide operational religious support for Combatant Commands.
First Army, as FORSCOM's designated coordinating authority for implementation of the Army Total Force Policy, partners with USAR and ARNG leadership to advise, assist, and train RC formations to achieve Department of the Army directed readiness requirements during both pre and post mobilization through multi-component integrated collective training, enabling FORSCOM to provide Combatant Commanders trained and ready forces in support of worldwide requirements.
Provides Oversight and Guidance, to mobilization, training, validation, deployment of RC UMTs. Assists Division UMTs with RC UMT training support and manages Religious Support across First Army First Army advises, assists and trains Reserve Component units during pre-mobilization periods. Conducts mobilization, training support, readiness validation, and deployment of alerted forces. Executes demobilization of Reserve Component forces in accordance with Department of the Army, and FORSCOM directives. Provides trained and ready forces in support of the Army Force Generation model. As directed, provides training to Joint, Combined, Interagency, and Active Army Forces.

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.

Priority #2
Pre- Mob Traing
CSTX, XCTC, WFX
This is the A CDRs guidance for assessing RS priorities. Instead of assessing priority based upon type of exercise ( Post-mob vs. pre-mob vs. home station). The 1A commander seeing all training events as opportunities and wants BDE CDRs to assess priority for supporting training measured by amount of 1A support to benefit the unit during the training compared to the amount of risk if the training is not supported. 1A invests a lot in post and pre mob training events. These events are OC/T heavy supported by large training support elements. When it comes to operational RS training at home station it only takes a small investment of 1A resources (1 UMT OC/T) to train a large number of RC UMTs on operational tasks. This investment builds home station readiness by preparing RC UMTs for pre-mob exercises and post-mob training.
We need to maximize training opportunities with Partnered Units at Home Station IOT leverage Special Staff Training during CPXs and Post-Mob CTEs.

TRAINING
THEY DON’T CONTROL
This is the Army’s standard for validating unit training. It does not apply well for validating parts of units i.e. UMTs performing religious support because UMTs do not control the circumstances of their training environment (dynamic/complex conditions and types of threats). And they do not control their manning (absences of one member during a training event fails the whole unit. HOWEVER, UMTs do control their performance measured by their proficiency measure by Battle Focused Training tasks whose outcome are the Big 6 processes integrated into Unit Mission Command processes. This is how UMTs provide and advise RS on the battlefield. 1A OC/Ts will focus upon these tasks and processes during training and conducting AARs.
