How long will the commanders formal approval of a religious accommodation request remain in effect?

• A. Until it is revoked in writing
• B. One year
• C. Indefinitely
• D. Six months

Answer: (A)

The essential point is that a commander’s formal approval for a religious accommodation continues in effect until the approving authority documents its revocation in writing. Once granted, it stays in place unless someone with the authority issues a written revocation or modification. There isn’t an automatic expiration after a set period like a year or six months, and there isn’t an indefinite status without a revocation process—the official end is always a written revocation. This structure ensures the accommodation remains available to the service member unless a formal decision is made to change or end it, typically only when mission requirements or other factors necessitate a change.
