In a chapel at Fort Liberty, North Carolina, 2nd Lt. Khady Ndiaye became the first Muslim woman commissioned by the U.S. Army as a chaplain candidate, marking a significant milestone in military diversity.
Maj. Gen. Bill Green stated that Army chaplains serve over 200 faith groups while caring for the Army family regardless of personal beliefs, underscoring the military's commitment to religious diversity.
Ronit Stahl noted that the military acts as an engine of religious inclusion, and changes in leadership could challenge the ethos of religious pluralism that has developed.
The history of the military chaplaincy has evolved from predominantly Protestant and Catholic chaplains to encompass a broader range of faiths, reflecting America's growing diversity.
