In 2025, military personnel benefited from a substantial pay adjustment. Starting January 1, all service members received a 4.5% salary increase. For junior enlisted ranks (E-1 to E-4), an additional 10% raise was implemented in April, leading to a total increase of 14.5%. Furthermore, the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) saw a 5.4% rise, marking another step toward addressing the economic pressures faced by military families. These enhancements underscore the government’s commitment to fairly compensating its armed forces for their dedication and service. By improving pay and allowances, the adjustments not only acknowledge the sacrifices made by military personnel but also help ensure their financial security in a time of rising costs.
