Other pay: Overseas Tour Extension

The services have authority to pay bonuses to service members with certain skills to extend their overseas tours in certain locations. Those who qualify can choose one of four options:

å A payment of up to $80 per month for each extra month they are overseas.

å An annual bonus of up to $2,000 for each year of the extension, payable as a lump sum or in monthly installments.

å Thirty extra days of rest-and-recuperative leave.

å Fifteen extra days of rest-and-recuperative leave, plus government-paid, round-trip transportation to the nearest point of debarkation in the U.S. (only for service members; family members are not covered).

Overseas tour extension incentive pay is taxable unless the service member re-enlists in a designated combat zone.
