DoD FMR Volume 7A, titled “Military Pay Policy - Active Duty and Reserve Pay,” establishes the comprehensive statutory and regulatory framework governing the compensation of active duty and reserve military personnel. The volume outlines the criteria for determining creditable service, computing basic pay, and managing leave accrual. It provides extensive guidance on a wide array of specialized compensation, including enlistment and retention bonuses, as well as special and incentive pays for hazardous duty, hostile fire, aviation, submarine duty, and health professions. Furthermore, the regulation details the specific rules for essential entitlements such as Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH), subsistence allowances, clothing monetary allowances, and family separation allowances. Beyond direct compensation, Volume 7A governs administrative and legal pay actions by prescribing the policies for managing discretionary and nondiscretionary allotments, garnishments, income tax withholding, bankruptcies, and the adjustment of pay resulting from court-martial sentences and non-judicial punishment
