USA allowed Sikh military men to wear turban

By updating its policy on 23 January 2014 USA allowed the Sikh military men to wear turbans, head scarfs and religious clothing with their uniform.

The uniform relaxation would allow personnel from different religions to wear turbans, skullcaps, keep beards and tattoos.

Soldiers, marines, sailors and airmen belonging to the said religions can now request exemptions to strict military uniform and grooming policies.

However, the requests would be evaluated individually and could be denied if they hinder military readiness.
