Abstract
The high number and variety of audiences and the predominance of young people have turned the barracks into one of the most important platforms for religious preaching; However, this preaching environment, like other preaching environments, has its own space, structures and rules, and the presence of these features and environmental requirements can have a significant effect on the content and method of preaching by religious missionaries, and neglecting them It is possible that the missionary process will face serious disruptions and damages, all of which show the importance of explaining the differences between the barracks and other missionary fields and how to deal with the missionary in this situation. This research, with a descriptive-analytical approach and non-participative observation, based on the experiences gained in the barracks over many years, describes the environment of the barracks and provides tips for the guidance of religious missionaries. Some of the findings of the research indicate that in the barracks, there are repeated administrative requests from the cleric, that the preacher should tactfully inform the soldiers that he does not have the right to interfere in administrative matters. Also, there are different tribes, religions and even religions in the barracks that a preacher should pay more attention to religious sensitivities in her speeches and refrain from saying issues that cannot be digested by the public.
