Anmol Narang Biography
Anmol Narang is an American second lieutenant in the U.S. Army and is recognized as the first observant Sikh to graduate from the United States Military A
Early life and backgroundAnmol Narang was born in 1997 and grew up in Roswell, Georgia. She is a second-generation American whose parents emigrated from Punjab, India, to the United States in the early 1990s. Raised in a Sikh household, Narang has spoken about family ties to military service: her paternal grandfather served in the Indian Army, and that family history influenced her own decision to pursue a military career.
Education
Narang attended the Georgia Institute of Technology and later enrolled at the United States Military Academy at West Point. She graduated from West Point with a degree in nuclear engineering. While a cadet, her religious identity as an observant Sikh became a prominent part of her public profile due to recent policy changes in the U.S. military that expanded religious accommodations.
Career
After completing West Point, Narang commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army. She was scheduled to attend the Basic Officer Leader Course at Fort Sill in Lawton, Oklahoma, as the next step in her officer training. Her initial assignment following that training was set for Okinawa, Japan, in January 2021.
Narang’s service follows a 2017 change in U.S. Army policy that allowed greater religious accommodation for service members, enabling observant Sikhs to serve while maintaining aspects of their faith such as uncut hair.
Public profile
Narang is widely noted for becoming the first observant Sikh to graduate from the U.S. Military Academy, a milestone that drew media attention. She was among the 1,107 graduates at West Point’s 2020 commencement ceremony, which featured remarks from the President of the United States.
A formative experience that contributed to her decision to serve occurred while she was in high school: a visit with her parents to the Pearl Harbor National Memorial in Hawaii exposed her to the history of that attack and helped cement her resolve to pursue military service.
Personal details
Anmol Narang is reported to be unmarried. Her physical attributes include a height of approximately 170 cm (5 feet 6 inches) and black hair and eyes. She follows the Sikh faith and has been identified publicly as an observant Sikh serving in the U.S. Army.
Latest updates
As of her 2020 graduation, Narang held the rank of second lieutenant and was preparing for further officer training and an initial posting overseas. Her reported annual salary was listed in sources as $39,445.20 per year for her role in the Army.
