Book excerpt: "The Chaplain Assistant (56M Military Occupational Specialty) name was changed to Religious Affairs Specialist in 2015 by the United States Army Chaplain Corps. As a result of the name change, chaplain assistants’ roles were expanded and 56Ms could now take advantage of new job opportunities. The name change, however, was not implemented across the Chaplain Corps and Army until 2017. This project explored the question: When the Army Chaplain Corps changed the name, Chaplain Assistant, to Religious Affairs Specialist, in 2015, increasing the roles and job opportunities, did the Corps provide adequate initial guidance, follow-up training and accountability measures for its proper implementation in 2017? The research methodologies used by the author to obtain data included formal/informal phone interviews/discussions, surveys, UMT training sessions, and email dialogue. The research suggests the Army Chaplain Corps provided inadequate overall implementation guidance regarding the Chaplain Assistant name change." -- Leaf [2].
