US War Department Raises Two Hazard Pays in Rare Move
Original: War Department Increases Two Hazard Pays for First Time in Nearly Quarter Century
The US War Department has increased two categories of hazard pay for the first time in nearly 25 years, according to an official announcement. The boost affects service members receiving extra compensation for dangerous duties. The long gap since the last increase has drawn attention to how military risk payments had failed to keep pace with modern operational demands, prompting discussion about support for troops in hazardous assignments.
Why now: It is the first increase to these hazard pays in roughly 25 years, a rare change affecting troops' compensation.
