US Army Paratroopers Are Getting a Pay Bump to Jump

  • On May 22 at Fort Bragg, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth revealed a pay raise for U.S. Army paratroopers during the 82nd Airborne Division’s All American Week.
  • The raise follows a 25-year hiatus in jump pay increases and aims to restore compensation for hazardous duty linked to parachuting tasks.
  • Rank-and-File paratroopers will receive $200 monthly jump pay, while jumpmasters’ hazardous duty incentive will increase from $150 to $300 per month starting October 1.
  • Hegseth announced that jump pay is being raised for the first time in a quarter-century and commended paratroopers for undertaking challenging missions in environments most people cannot conceive.
  • The raise signals renewed focus on battlefield readiness, troop welfare, and deterrence, with further investments promised to keep formations equipped for future conflicts.
