Pentagon’s religious accommodation policies

The Pentagon's religious accommodation policies aim to respect service members' sincerely held religious beliefs while balancing military requirements. Service members can request exemptions or adjustments—like specific attire, scheduling considerations, or practices—if these don't interfere with military duties or safety. The goal is to create an inclusive environment that upholds religious freedom without compromising mission readiness. Requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and the Department of Defense seeks to provide accommodations that are reasonable and consistent with operational needs.
