Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission encourages comment submittals Published Jan. 23, 2014 AEDC/PA ARNOLD AIR FORCE BASE, TENN. -- The Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission welcome inputs as they review military compensation and benefits. Anyone may submit a comment, but all comments may be made available to the public. Due to the volume of comments that are expected, the commission will not be able to respond to each submission. Congress' National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 established the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission. The Commission's task is to review the military compensation and retirement programs and make recommendations for their modernization to the President and Congress in the spring of 2014. The goal of the Commission's recommendations will be to ensure the long-term health of the All-Volunteer Force, provide for a high quality-of-life for the members of the Uniformed Forces and their families, and make sure that the compensation and retirement programs are financially sustainable.
