INTRODUCTION
On the surface mobilization planning seems to involve only the drawing up of paper
plans, which satisfy reporting requirements. It seems the classic paper drill, like a remote
and complex "magic kingdom" which will never happen. However, for the UMT Senior
Manager, Active Army or Reserve Component, MOB is now a major part of the mission
(perhaps the major mission).
1. Mobilization Management.
a. The Chaplaincy must know how to mobilize in order to perform its mission to
support the total Army at a time when it is most needed. In the event of
mobilization, the Army deploys as do the most ready of Reserve and Guard Units.
The rest of the force trains for deployment, and you should remember that
virtually all of the UMT assets go with the troops. The UMT mission at home is
to the families of deployed soldiers but the UMT assets are with the troops.
