4. Doctrine
Describes (but does not prescribe), how the Armed Forces Chaplaincy conducts, facilitates, provides for religious support.
Must be detailed enough to provide meaningful guidance, yet flexible enough to allow chaplaincy to include commanders to exercise initiative when dealing with specific situations
Rooted in time-tested principles but must be forward- looking and adaptable to changing technologies, threats, and missions (A bridge between thought and action)
To be useful, doctrine must be well known and commonly understood
Disseminated through policies, manuals, instructions and other publications through the professional military education system
The reason it is not prescription is so that it does not funnel down into dogma.
