Which of the following is not one of the five areas of religious accommodation?

• A. Worship
• B. Dietary
• C. Grooming
• D. Travel and leave

Answer: (C)

Religious accommodation centers on allowing a service member to practice their faith in ways that don’t impact safety, readiness, or mission. The categories typically used to structure these accommodations are worship, dietary practices, dress (religious attire within safety and uniform rules), travel and leave (time off or travel to observe religious events), and religious observances or holy days. Grooming, while important and regulated, is handled by the Army’s general uniform and grooming standards rather than as one of the accommodation categories. That’s why grooming isn’t listed among the five areas, making it the best answer.
