Hatchet Man,
Read the question...
I haven't heard anything official about this yet, but it has been talked about, esp bantered about at the mess. Having members of designated units draw full time field ops pay would definately decrease the workload for the clerks, and possibly save $$ as the monthly rate can and would be less then the cost of 30 days continous duty.
Current daily is $16.41 X 30 days=492. 30
If you gave all army pers $120 a month and encouraged more/longer field deployments. I would imagine the savings could be larger.
If I were to set this up, you would not collect this pay while deployed overseas, and you'd have to be deployed on fd ex something along the line of 4 weeks a yrs to qualify. Or something like that.
I personally think it is a good idea.
