The United States Department of Defense has allocated around $840 billion for its fiscal 2024 budget, aimed at fortifying national and allied defense through enhanced military salaries and support.
Military salaries increased drastically in 2024, with a 5.2% raise being the highest in two decades, reflecting efforts to mitigate the rising cost of living for service members.
Service personnel can earn significant salaries based on rank, with commissioned officers O-6 making over $200,000 annually, emphasizing the financial disparities between enlisted and higher-ranking officers.
Despite variations in compensation among the ranks, specific incentives for certain roles, such as career sea pay and hazardous duty incentives, underscore the military's commitment to retaining skilled personnel.
