The Transformation Of The Army Chaplaincy During WWII: DOTMLPF-P As An Assessment Tool For Religious Support

Abstract

Chaplain (MG) William Arnold was the Army Chief of Chaplains from December 23, 1937 to February 14, 1945. During World War II, Chaplain Arnold oversaw the greatest transformation in our nations history of the Army Chaplaincy. Many of the changes he implemented preceded the Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, Facilities, Policy (DOTMLPF-P) framework found in the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS). These accomplishments resulted in chaplains providing timely and effective religious support and advising the command on issues of religion and morale. This contributed to an enduring chaplain identity and lessons for todays force developers as they work to transform the Army to meet current and future challenges.
