Train for the mission. Prepare for the risk. Be ready for the fight.
#TheFirstCommand develops Airmen for the realities of the Operational Force and the missions our nation may ask them to undertake. 🇺🇸
Our troops in harm's way deserve compensation that reflects their risk. For the first time in over two decades, the Department of War is increasing Hostile Fire Pay and Imminent Danger Pay.
Under SecWar Hegseth's leadership, we are recognizing the real operational risks our warfighters face daily. Effective Today, HFP will increase to a maximum of $450 per month and IDP to maximum of $275 per month.
