The US Army prepared a book for the guidance of its chaplains when dealing with a soldier of a non-traditional faith. The book is: "Religious Requirements and Practices of Certain Selected Groups: A Handbook for Chaplains," and was first published in 1978. The 1990 edition appears to have gone out of print. However a new version was published in 2001 under the same name. The the U.S. Department of the Army is listed as as editor 1

Pages 231-236 of the 1990 edition contained an excellent description of Wicca.

It is very interesting they approve Konkokyo which is basically a Japanese version of Wiccian (almost a New Age version of Shinto) and much newer than Wicca
