The Commander's Handbook for Religious Ministry Support: Marine Corps Reference Publication 6-12c

Successful commanders have discovered that effective use of their Religious Ministry Teams (RMTs) has a positive impact on readiness, moral, and family support issues. They also understand that an effective Command Religious Program (CRP) and the spiritual care that chaplains provide are irreplaceable on the battlefield.

Marine Corps Reference Publication (MCRP) 6-12C, The Commander's Handbook for Religious Ministry Support, is a commonsense guide designed for field grade commanders to help facilitate their CRP and to empower their chaplains and RMTs. As a part of the Marine Corps Religious Ministry family of publications, it summarizes information contained in Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 6-12, Religious Ministry Support in the U. S. Marine Corps, which is crucial for commanders to become leaders in their CRP.
