Defense Primer: Regular Military Compensation, Congressional Research Service : Congressional Research Service (CRS) , November 21 , 2024
From the report: "Congress sets compensation levels for members of the
Armed Forces through statutory authorizations and
appropriations. When people talk about military pay, they
are often only referring to “basic pay.” Although basic pay
is normally the largest component of cash compensation
that a servicemember receives, there are other types of
military pay, allowances, and tax benefits that add
significantly to it. Regular Military Compensation (RMC)
is a statutorily defined measure of the cash or in-kind
compensation elements which all servicemembers receive
every payday. It is widely used as a basic measure of
military cash compensation levels and for comparisons with
civilian salary levels."
