Military’s new budget could give 7% pay raise to most junior troops
A proposed budget from the Trump administration could bring significant pay increases to US troops. The largest raises would go to junior enlisted service members, with those at the lowest five enlisted ranks receiving a 7% increase in basic pay. Service members in higher ranks would also see raises, though at lower percentages.
The proposed pay increases are part of a three-tiered system, with exact details available from the White House. Further information on the proposed budget and pay raises can be found through official sources, including the White House.
