Installation Management Campaign PlanThe IMCOM UMT oversees the Government Purchase Card (GPC) operations, whichincludes review of over 3000 monthly transactions of over 300 cardholders and providesits management and control guidance and policies. As part of this supervision, it alsoprovides staff input to Region’s annual staff assistance visits to examine the books,review local policies and procedures and offer guidance in the execution of the CTOFand GPC.The IMCOM UMT also administers specialized grants from the Office of the Chief ofChaplains (OCCH) used to enhance and supplement ministry on Garrisons. Further, theUMT manages the designated offering ministry (special offerings taken to supportspecial causes) taken four times a year as specified by the OCCH.Mobilization Support of RC PersonnelDuring this time of extended conflict, the Army relies heavily on its Reserve Component(RC) to not only provide units mobilized to combat theaters, but also to individuallyaugment installation support. The IMCOM HQ UMT coordinates and validates allGarrison religious support (RS) needs. Currently, about 100 chaplains and 50 chaplainassistants from the RC serve alongside our Active Component UMTs, providing RS atover 30 different installations around the world. IMCOM relies on RC chaplains andchaplain assistants to supplement the BASOPS mission by providing rear detachmentRS for both Soldiers in the rear and Family members of deployed Soldiers. RC UMTsprovide area coverage for installations with more robust mobilization and demobilizationmissions and also help meet shortfalls generated by overseas contingency operations(OCO) that exceed the capacities of Garrison UMTs. The sizable RC contribution to ourGarrisons maximizes fulfillment of the Installation Management Community CampaignPlan “Soldier, Family and Civilian Readiness” Line of Effort and the objective thatSoldiers, Families and Civilians are confident that they are being cared for, and theirphysical, emotional, and spiritual needs are enriched by quality programs, infrastructure,and support.Religious EducationIn order to stay abreast of effective and creative ways of instructing our Soldiers, FamilyMembers and Civilians, the HQ IMCOM UMT develops concepts for the transformationof the Army Religious Education (RE) program in coordination with the Director ofSoldier and Family Ministries, Office of the Chief of Chaplains. The IMCOM UMTcommunicates purpose and scope of the RE program to Region and Garrison UMTswith the desired result that the RE program supports spiritual formation needs of all faithgroups and is ARFORGEN-driven and relevant to Soldiers and Families in a climate ofpersistent conflict. To ensure that only the most qualified applicants fill the Garrison andRegion Director of Religious Education (DRE) positions, the IMCOM UMT screens allapplicant packets for required academic and experience qualifications. It thenmaintains a strong team by overseeing training and professional development as wellas offering guidance and mentorship to the DREs in the field.Annex E: Religious Support and Spiritual Fitness E-7
