Senate Committee Seeks Savings By Making Changes to Combat Pay

摘要

A service member would have to spend an entire month in a combat zone to receive a full month of combat pay under a version of the fiscal 2012 National Defense Authorization Act. The Senate Armed Services Committee last month completed its markup of the bill and approved a change to prorate combat pay based on days in a combat zone. The attempt is to save $30 million per year and is not in the House bill.
