五角大楼提高了处于敌对火力和迫在眉睫危险中的美军薪酬，这是20多年来对这些服役人员薪酬标准的首次调整。美联社记者马克·希费尔贝因报道。
The Pentagon increased the pay for U.S. troops in hostile fire and imminent danger, marking the first rate adjustment for those service members in over 20 years Mark Schiefelbein, Associated Press The update policy bumps the monthly rate for Hostile Fire Pay (HFP) to $450 and the Imminent Danger Pay (IDP) to $275, according to a July Pentagon memo signed by Assistant Secretary of Defense for Manpower and Reserve Affairs Timothy Dill.
根据五角大楼7月的一份备忘录，该政策更新将敌对火力津贴（HFP）的月费率提高至450美元，将迫在眉睫危险津贴（IDP）提高至275美元。该备忘录由国防部人力和预备役事务助理部长蒂莫西·迪尔签署。
The IDP will be prorated a t $9.16 per day up to a maximum of $275 per month, based on the number of days the service member is in a designated imminent danger area, the Pentagon said on Thursday.
五角大楼周四表示，IDP将按每天9.16美元按比例发放，每月最高不超过275美元，具体取决于服役人员在指定迫在眉睫危险地区的天数。“身处险境的部队应获得反映其风险的补偿。”五角大楼首席发言人肖恩·帕内尔表示。
“Our troops in harm’s way deserve compensation t hat reflects their risk.”Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said.
国防部表示，自2002年10月以来，敌对火力津贴和迫在眉睫危险津贴一直固定为每月225美元，新的“分级模型更能反映在可能存在危险的地区服役与面临敌对火力之间的差异。”
The Hostile Fire Pay and Imminent Danger Pay have been set at a flat monthly rate of $225 since Oct. 2002 the department said, arguing the new “tiered model better reflects the differences between serving in an area where danger is possible and facing hostile fire.”“If an IDP-designated area escalates into active combat, commanders can transition personnel from IDP to HFP immediately. This provides a clear and timely mechanism to acknowledge heightened risk levels,” Parnell said.
帕内尔表示：“如果IDP指定地区升级为实战，指挥官可以立即将人员从IDP转为HFP。这提供了一个清晰及时的机制来确认风险等级的提高。”服役人员在同一服役期间不会同时获得IDP和HFP。
The service members will not receive both IDP and HFP for the same period of service.
