Military Drill Pay Charts for 2024
Drill Pay is part of the total compensation available to National Guard and Reserve soldiers performing drilling and other training duties. 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). A drill period is defined as four hours, and the pay rates on this page are per drill period.
Army National Guard officers and enlisted Soldiers are eligible for Drill Pay as they serve their weekend and other training duties. The charts on this page show military drill pay for all branches as of January 1st 2024.
