17 HARDSHIP DUTY PAY Hardship Duty Pay (HDP) superseded <strong>for</strong>eign duty pay on 4 February 1999. HDP is paid to <strong>Reservists</strong>, at a monthly rate, while per<strong>for</strong>ming duty designated by SECDEF as hardship duty. HDP is paid <strong>for</strong> specific missions or location assignments. Mission assignment HDP is paid at full monthly rate, regardless of time spent on active duty. Mission HDP rate, regardless of pay grade, is currently $150. Location assignment HDP is payable to enlisted personnel only and varies according to grade. HOSTILE FIRE (HFP)/IMMINENT DANGER PAY (IDP) For any part of a month served in a hostile fire or imminent danger area, an entire monthly amount of HFP or IDP is paid without being prorated. Such pays are to be certified by an appropriate commander (at the lowest level of command). Designated HFP/IDP areas may be obtained in DoD FMR Volume 7A, Chapter 10, Figure 10-1 or . HAZARDOUS DUTY PAY Hazardous Duty Incentive Pay is a monthly payment made to non-crew (officers and enlisted) <strong>for</strong> certain hazardous duty, such as explosive demolition or flight deck duty. HFP/IDP is currently $225, authorized through December 2004. FLIGHT PAY Aviation Career Incentive Pay (ACIP) is an entitlement (continuous or conditional) while per<strong>for</strong>ming active duty. For continuous ACIP, entitlement is based upon meeting aviation gate requirements. Conditional ACIP, normally <strong>for</strong> flight surgeons, requires meeting monthly flight hours. Flight pay is entitled <strong>for</strong> allowable travel time when on orders <strong>for</strong> 30 days or less. SPECIAL PAY FOR MEDICAL/DENTAL CORPS OFFICERS Medical and Dental Corps officers on active duty <strong>for</strong> less than one year may receive special pay <strong>for</strong> each month of AT, ADT, or ADSW.

However, <strong>Reservists</strong> ordered and gained to active duty under a Presidential Reserve Call-Up (PRC), partial mobilization, or orders specifing support <strong>for</strong> a contingency operation shall have a DD 214 prepared regardless of the duration of active duty. If a Reservist per<strong>for</strong>ms back-to-back orders of different types, a DD 214 shall be prepared <strong>for</strong> each specified period based on the above policy. Safeguard each DD-214 you receive. IDENTIFICATION CARDS For orders to active duty <strong>for</strong> more than 30 consecutive days, the Reservist is entitled to be issued a DD Form 2 (Active) identification card.
