Section 307. Special pay: special duty assignment pay for enlisted members
(a) An enlisted member who is entitled to basic pay and is
performing duties which have been designated under subsection (b)
as extremely difficult or as involving an unusual degree of
responsibility in a military skill may, in addition to other pay or
allowances to which he is entitled, be paid special duty assignment
pay at a monthly rate not to exceed $600.
(b) The Secretary concerned shall determine which enlisted
members under his jurisdiction are to be paid special duty
assignment pay under subsection (a). He shall also designate those
skills within each armed force under his jurisdiction for which
special duty assignment pay is authorized and shall prescribe the
criteria under which members of that armed force are eligible for
special duty assignment pay in each skill. He may increase,
decrease, or abolish such pay for any skill.
(c) This section shall be administered under regulations
prescribed by the Secretary of Defense for the armed forces under
his jurisdiction and by the Secretary of Homeland Security for the

and to the extent provided for by appropriations, when an enlisted
member of the National Guard or a reserve component of a uniformed
service who is entitled to compensation under section 206 of this
title performs duty for which a member described in subsection (a)
is entitled to special pay under such subsection, the member of the
National Guard or reserve component is entitled to an increase in
compensation equal to 1/30 of the monthly special duty assignment
pay prescribed by the Secretary concerned for the performance of
that same duty by members described in subsection (a).
(2) A member of the National Guard or a reserve component
entitled to an increase in compensation under paragraph (1) is
entitled to the increase -

appropriate duty, at which the member is engaged for at least two

instruction, duty, or appropriate duties, as the Secretary may
prescribe under section 206(a) of this title.
