Army redirecting millions collected from soldier BAS pay meant for food services elsewhere: report
Fox News
Hundreds of millions of dollars taken out of U.S. Army soldiers' Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS) pay that is meant to help with food costs is being redirected elsewhere, a report found.
Enlisted soldiers receive around $465 dollars in BAS each month, according to the U.S. Army's website, and what is essentially a tax on troops, is taken from that, the outlet reported.
"It's just returned to the big pool of Army funds, and it's used someplace else," an official told the outlet of the redirected BAS pay in an interview that was scheduled by the Army public affairs office.
