If current trends continue the deployment of military chaplains in humanitarian relief operations will increase. The National Security Strategy (NSS) and the National Military Strategy (NMS) require the Army to be a strategically responsive force. Army chaplains must be prepared to provide religious support to the total force of soldiers and civilians who are involved in humanitarian relief efforts. One important issue in humanitarian relief operations is the free exercise of religion. Current interpretations of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution prohibit Army Chaplains from providing ministry to individuals outside of the Army once deployed. Current policy must allow Army chaplains the freedom and flexibility to perform their ministerial duties even beyond the confines of the Army.

At a time of war, in which ongoing efforts to recalibrate American diplomacy are as imperative as they are perilous, the Oxford Encyclopedia will present itself as the first recourse for scholars wishing to deepen their understanding of the crucial features of the historical and contemporary foreign policy landscape and its perennially martial components. Entries will be written by the top diplomatic and military historians and key scholars of international relations from within the American academy, supplemented, as is appropriate for an encyclopedia of diplomacy, with entries from foreign-based academics, in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. The crucial importance of the subject is reflected in the popularity of university courses dedicated to diplomatic and military history and the enduring appeal of international relations (IR) as a political science discipline drawing on both. The Oxford Encyclopedia will be a basic reference tool across both disciplines - a potentially very significant market. Readership: University-level undergraduate and graduate students in History
