The attached handbook is designed by Army Military Pay Office-Korea to provide you with an understanding of military pay entitlements and allowances related to service in The Korean Theater of Operations (KTO) during armistice. It contains a brief explanation of each entitlement or allowance, who is eligible to receive it, and the applicable amount(s). No quick reference handbook can answer all questions for all situations, and this is not the intent. You should direct questions concerning individual situations and unique circumstances to your Unit S1 and/or Army Military Pay Office-Korea.

The presence of an entitlement or allowance in this handbook does not guarantee that every Soldier in the KTO is authorized to receive the entitlement or allowance. To qualify for an entitlement or allowance, each Soldier must meet the criteria governed by the applicable regulation and be able to substantiate with applicable documentation prior to receipt of payment.
