Well there's some grey area. The court filing is long and pedantic, but it goes into the back-and-forth between captain and sergeant, and also details the well-attended fun event. But it seems there was some informal "proselytizing." Kind of like "Hey guys enjoy this food and have fun and hey by the way we're gonna pray and talk about how awesome Muhammad is if that's cool. If not, whatever, just enjoy yourself." It's almost like one of those timeshare pitches where they wine-and-dine you and then try to sell you on something, but hey no big deal.

I don't think there was anything radical. I think that sort of "soft proselytizing" occurs in all sorts of functions at Christian churches under same circumstances. And they may have truly just been trying to educate. And you can't know how strong the proselytizing will be until you attend. I just think it's an interesting grey area.
