Introduction

FM 3-83 is a key integrating publication that links doctrine for the Chaplain Corps with Army and joint doctrine. FM 3-83 provides operational guidance for commands and religious affairs personnel and forms the foundation for all United States Army Institute for Religious Leadership curricula.

This manual contains four chapters. Chapter 1 describes religious affairs foundations, including the historical precedent for the Army Chaplain Corps and its roles, missions, and duties. Chapter 2 delineates the current operational environment, including the requirement to execute religious affairs across all contexts of the competition continuum. Chapter 3 details the execution of religious affairs at the different echelons of command within the Army. Chapter 4 depicts planning for religious affairs across the competition continuum using the operations process.

A popular size to carry anywhere (briefcase, large pocket, purse) but the print is large enough for easy reading.  The binding is with coil, allowing easy flipping of pages without jamming.

The color covers are laminated for weather protection with black and white inside printing.
