Hundreds of enlisted airmen face pay cuts of up to $5,400 a year due to fiscal constraints facing the Air Force, the service confirmed Friday.
The Pentagon has asked Congress to give fewer airmen the extra monthly compensation known as special duty assignment pay in fiscal 2023. That money — ranging from $75 to $450 a month — is offered to troops in particularly grueling or important jobs, a list that can change throughout the year.
The service also uses special duty pay to entice airmen to extend their service in those fields.
