PART C -- REDISTRIBUTION AND CROSS-LEVELING
The redistribution and cross-leveling process requires assigning an individual from one
unit to meet a shortage in another unit. Redistribution is performed at continental U.S.
Army (CONUSA) level and cross leveling is performed at mobilization station level. The
Chief of Chaplains has authorized redistribution and cross leveling during mobilization
through decentralized management. All UMT mobilization and deployment planning will
take the impact of personnel redistribution into account.
1. Priorities of the Chief of Chaplains (CCH).
a. The CCH delegates to lower levels, but in all cases the guidelines of the CCH
are observed. The Chief of Chaplains has established the following parameters
for redistribution and cross-leveling:
(1) Priority for assigning chaplains is first to deploying units and then to
training bases.
(2) Whenever possible, one Jewish chaplain and four Catholic chaplains
will be assigned to a division and the Protestant chaplains will be assigned
to the remaining spaces. One Catholic chaplain will be assigned to
separate brigades and the remaining spaces will be allotted to Protestant
chaplains.
(3) Personnel redistribution will be as needed. Unit integrity will be
maintained whenever possible. CONUSA chaplains may redistribute
chaplains before alert in anticipation of shortfalls at mobilization stations.
The chief of Chaplains manages this process in the event of mobilization,
but operational authority is delegated.
b. The Chief of Chaplain's priorities have an impact on the provision of religious
support at the mobilization station. Many Active and Reserve Component UMTs
will deploy immediately. Some RC UMTs will train intensively and then deploy
based on their units' mission. This rapid flow through the mobilization station
may take place at the same time requirements for religious support at the
