"the War Department will be significantly streamlining the number of faith code affiliations for service members....Regarding the reduction in religions identified by the military's faith and belief coding system — which will now be renamed to 'religious affiliation codes' — Hegseth said the overhaul was necessary due to the current system having grown too big. 'The previous system had ballooned to well over 200 faith codes. … It was impractical and unusable, and many codes were never used at all,' Hegseth said, adding that a significant majority of service members — 82% of whom identify as being religious — use only six of the codes.
