Summary:

Since September 2001, the Department of Defense (DOD) has relied heavily on the reserve component, primarily in support of ongoing contingency operations for the Global War on Terrorism, which is now known as the Overseas Contingency Operation. This increased use of the reserve component servicemembers has led to questions by Congress about whether reserve component servicemembers might be experiencing a decline in earnings as a result of extended and frequent activations. Our objectives for this review were to evaluate (1) whether DOD has determined if any differential exists between the income earned by reserve component servicemembers while performing active duty service and the civilian income they would otherwise have earned and (2) the extent to which any differential existing between the income earned by the activated reserve component servicemembers and that earned by civilians has affected attrition for reserve component servicemembers. Based on discussions with congressional staff, we are also providing, in enclosure III, examples of public and private sector supplemental compensation provided to activated reserve component servicemembers.
