Active Duty Pay Scales: During federal activation, the Guardsman receives their pay according to the active duty pay charts, not the part-time drill pay they receive during regular training.
Pay Components: In addition to base pay, activated Guardsmen often receive allowances such as:
Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS): For food.
Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH): A tax-free allowance for housing.
Other Pay: Depending on the location and duration of the deployment, this could also include family separation pay, hostile fire pay, or hardship duty pay.
Tax Exemption: All pay received during a federal activation deployment is typically tax-exempt.
