Additional Pay & Allowances for an O-10

In addition to Basic Pay, a General of the Army may be eligible to receive several types of allowances and incentive pay.

Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH)

Basic Allowance for Housing is a monthly payment meant to subsidize a servicemember's housing while deployed. The amount of BAH received each month depends on the location in which they live.

Officers with a paygrade above O-7 don't receive standard BAH payments.
