About

Chapter 1 Mortuary Affairs Overview Show me the manner in which a nation or a community cares for its dead and I will measure with mathematical exactness the tender sympathies of its people, their respect for the laws of the land and their loyalty to high ideals. William Gladstone MISSION 1-1. As today's Army continues its transformation to the future force, it must remain ready to fight the enemies of both today and tomorrow. As the rise of noncontiguous conflicts demands faster and more deployable fighting units, the Department of Defense (DOD) and the American public will continue to demand the expeditious return of deceased personnel. The Army's role within the Joint Mortuary Affairs Program (JMAP) will continue to be one of the nation's most important and sensitive missions throughout the foreseeable future. 1-2.
