Active Duty Retirement
System
Members who remain on active duty for 20 or more years are eligible for
retirement. There are three non-disability retirement systems currently
in effect. These are Final Pay, High-3 Year Average, and Military Retirement
Reform Act of 1986 (more commonly referred to as REDUX). REDUX was revised
by the FY2000 National Defense Authorization Act---a $30,000 Career Status
Bonus (CSB) was added for those who accept the REDUX retirement system.
Individuals formerly under REDUX may now choose between the High-3 and
CSB/REDUX systems. The date you first entered the military determines
which retirement system applies to you and whether you have the option
to choose your retirement system.
To find out which system applies to you, select "which system" from
the Navigation bar on the left. To learn more about any retirement system,
select the system you are interested in from the navigation bar on the
left.
