The Directorate of Training and Leader Development

The Directorate of Training  produces professional religious support leaders capable of serving a diverse force in any environment under any conditions.  There are three divisions within the Directorate: Initial Military Training (IMT), Professional Military Education (PME), and Training Development Division (TDD).  The TDD includes the Task Analysts and Subject Matter Experts (SME's).  Additionally, the Directorate houses the Religious Support Simulation Center, providing mission command system, gaming, and simulation training.  The Training Directorate serves as the Chaplain Corps' institutional training and educational home and supports the Operational Training Domain within our branch.  This portal serves our Branch as a point which personnel throughout the Chaplain Corps may access for support in building their own training plans and programs.
