Army Reserve: Active Duty
Benefit Fact Sheet
Summary:
Drill Pay is part of the total compensation available to National Guard and Reserve soldiers performing drilling and other training duties. A drill period is defined as four (4) hours. Drill Pay for a National Guard or Reserve Soldier depends on the Soldier's length of service and Army rank (most enlisted Soldiers enter the Army as a Private).
Eligibility:
Army Reserve Soldiers on active duty do not receive drill pay, but are compensated on a monthly basis, as are their active duty counterparts, with Basic Pay. See the Basic Pay fact sheet for the details.
