Biden orders study of military pay and benefits to ensure troops are properly compensated
President Joe Biden on Tuesday directed the Pentagon to begin reviewing military pay and benefits to make certain service members are being paid fairly and can afford basic needs such as food and housing.
The study — known as the Quadrennial Review of Military Compensation — is conducted every four years to examine whether military pay and other benefits are suitable. Its goal is to make certain service members are being paid comparatively to what they would see in the civilian market and can afford necessities. The review is Biden’s first as president.
