Army to Allow Sikh Captain to Serve With Beard

Overview


Amandeep Sidhu and Emre Ilter were among the lawyers who secured a permanent religious accommodation from the US Army allowing a Sikh captain to serve with a beard and turban, a move that follows an earlier court order last month that barred the Army from requiring the captain to undergo extra helmet and mask tests as it weighed his accommodation request.
