Need for Active Guard/Reserve Unit Ministry Teams at Regional Support Commands

By Paul H Harwart

Book Overview

This study investigates whether, or not, there is a need for full-time-support chaplains and chaplain assistants, also known as active guard/reserve (AGR) unit ministry teams (UMTs), at the regional support commands (RSCs) in the United States Army Reserve (USAR). The approach taken was to study the history of assigning AGR UMTs at RSCs, to describe the roles, responsibilities, and functions of the AGR UMTs, and to examine what evidence exists that supports the need for assigning the AGR UMTs at RSCs throughout the USAR. The AGR UMTs assigned to RSCs are the only chaplain section full-time personnel in the entire command. These chaplains and chaplain assistants have the responsibility for daily religious support to the regional support command headquarters and to coordinate religious support throughout the entire RSC region. This study explains the reasons why assigning AGR UMTs at RSCs is necessary in order to meet the many needs of the USAR mission readiness in terms of religious support.
