The Unit Ministry Team (UMT) handbook provides an unclassified staff reference book for chaplains and chaplain assistants. It emphasizes essential activities during combat operations at division and lower echelons. This handbook is considered a “living document”-that is, it will receive periodic formal review by the proponent, but it also should be reviewed and revised by the user to meet specific needs. Chaplains and chaplain assistants should use this handbook as a guide, being mindful that they must remain knowledgeable of policies and procedures established by regulations, standing operating procedures , and other local directives.
