Foreign Language Proficiency
In a major push to expand language capabilities, the services now offer up to $1,000 a month for active-duty members and up to $6,000 a year for reservists with needed language skills. The highest rates of pay go to those with proficiency in the most critically needed languages, such as Arabic, Pashtu, Persian-Afghan (Dari) and Chinese.
The amount of pay also varies depending on the level of proficiency in speaking, reading and writing the foreign language.
Foreign language proficiency pay is taxable except in combat zones.
