Abstract:
From one-fourth to one-third of every Defense dollar is spent on military personnel compensation. It is a complex, interlocked package of pay and benefits that plays a critical role in managing force readiness. The compensation package, after all, is a major factor in persuading servicemen and women to remain in uniform.
