US Creates New Office of Religious Affairs

The United States Department of War has established an Office of Religious Affairs to coordinate religious support and strengthen what it describes as the “moral, ethical and spiritual readiness” of American military personnel.

The new office was announced on Wednesday as part of a series of initiatives unveiled by US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth during a “State of the Force” address at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia.

Under the new arrangement, the Director of the Office of Religious Affairs will serve as a principal staff assistant with direct access to the Secretary of War and will advise the Secretary and Deputy Secretary on religious-affairs matters across the department.
