Army doctrine is fundamental principles, with supporting tactics, techniques, procedures, and terms and symbols, used for the conduct of operations and as a guide for actions of operating forces, and elements of the institutional force that directly support operations in support of national objectives (ADP 1-01).

FM 3-83 provides operational guidance for commands and religious affairs personnel and forms the foundation for all United States Army Institute for Religious Leadership curricula. This manual contains four chapters. Chapter 1 describes religious affairs foundations, including the historical precedent for the Army Chaplain Corps and its roles, missions, and duties.
