Request for Religious Accommodation

A Request for Religious Accommodation is a document used by service members to seek exceptions to military regulations based on their religious beliefs or practices. Key features include:

1. Personal and service information of the applicant

2. Description of the religious belief or practice requiring accommodation

3. Specific military policy or regulation for which accommodation is sought

4. Explanation of how the accommodation would not adversely affect military readiness

5. Supporting documentation (e.g., religious leader statement)

This request allows service members to formally ask for exceptions to standard military policies or practices that conflict with their sincerely held religious beliefs, balancing religious freedom with military necessity.
