Department of Defense Military Pay and Allowance Committee Action No. 533

The Assistant Secretary of Defense, Comptroller, requested an advance decision concerning the entitlement of Air Force pararescue members to dual hazardous duty incentive pay. A member of the uniformed services is entitled to dual payments of hazardous duty pay provided he is required to perform specific multiple hazardous duties in order to carry out his assigned mission and otherwise meets the criteria established by departmental regulations. Although the payment of dual hazardous duty incentive pay to pararescue team members who perform aircrew duties and no other hazardous duty in addition to flying and parachute jumping is prohibited by DOD regulations, those regulations may be amended to authorize such dual payments.
