Incentive and Special Pay can be received in addition to your Basic Pay in the Military. A Marine Corps member entitled to special duty assignment pay may receive such pay in addition to any other pay and allowance to which they are entitled. Members who meet certain requirements (Table 8-1 of the DoD Financial Management Regulation (DODFMR)) may be awarded a special duty assignment rating under procedures in regulations of the Military Service concerned.
Note: Different types of special and incentive pay include those relative to combat, specified duties, and unique training.
