INTRODUCTION
During mobilization, the UMT supports the specific religious, spiritual, and ethical needs of soldiers in keeping with the objectives and principles of Army installations. Therefore, it is essential that you familiarize yourself with the mobilization requirements of reporting, logistics, funding, and mobilization planners training/exercises. Be advised that reporting procedures and requirements may vary, according to the mission.
1. Reporting.
The following information must be reported by the mobilization chaplains to OCCH, through their CONUSA and FORSCOM on the 30th, 60th, 90th, 120th, 150th, and 180th day of mobilization:
— Name.
— Grade.
— Social Security Number.
— Denomination.
— Assignment of all chaplains mobilized to and/or deployed from the installation.
2. Logistics.
a. Chaplain planners will ensure that adequate material is available for deployed chaplains and for those remaining in CONUS.
b. Resupply items are available through the Army Supply System and Defense Logistics Agency. Materiel includes:
(1) Chapel facilities.
(2) Sleeping accommodations.
(3) Chaplain combat kits.
(4) Sacramental/ordinance items.
3. Funding.
a. Mob station chaplains should ensure the proper training of personnel on how to handle appropriated (APF) and nonappropriated funds (NAF). Only USACHCS trained Fund Managers may administer NAF accounts.
b. Chapters 15 and 16 of AR 165-1 contain specific guidance on how to handle these funds.
4. Mobilization Exercises.
a. JCS/HQDA Exercises.
HQDA, in conjunction with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, conducts worldwide mobilization exercises. All chaplain mobilization planners will, when possible, actively participate in these exercises to identify deficiencies in mobilization plans.
b. Field Exercise.
Chaplains will participate in field exercises to the maximum extent possible. Continuing exclusion of chaplains from field exercises should be reported through command channels to OCCH.
c. Training Events.
(1) The FORSCOM chaplain will conduct one major mobilization planners training event each year for all chaplain mobilization planners worldwide. CONUSAs will conduct area mobilization training events as required.
(2) Corps and installation chaplains will coordinate and conduct chaplain mobilization exercises (CHMOBEXs) to test chaplain mobilization planning. All CHMOBEXs should be carefully coordinated with appropriate staff sections (especially the G-3) and with units identified for participation.
