Military Pay Boost Sought Across Armed Forces
A civilian group recommends pay increases averaging 15 percent for the armed forces with higher boosts for senior ranks and longer service. Brigadier generals with 30 years would gain about 58 percent, second lieutenants 25 percent, and recruits none. The plan aims to correct decades of inequities and, based on 1,374,000 personnel, adds roughly 451.6 million to next year’s payroll. Defense Secretary Forrestal announced general agreement among service secretaries and plans to send the report to the Budget Bureau for President approval.
