Danger Pay Service members qualify for imminent danger pay (IDP) of $225 per month if they are on duty outside the U.S. and are subject to physical harm or imminent danger due to wartime conditions, terrorism, civil insurrection or civil war. In some locations, IDP is paid only to land-based service members; in others, both land and the airspace above qualify. Certain bodies of water also qualify. In some locations, IDP is paid in addition to Hardship Duty Pay-Location. Areas that currently qualify for IDP: |
