(b) The monthly rate can't be more than $150. (c)(1) If funds are available, the Secretary can also pay this special pay to reserve members entitled to compensation under section 206 who perform duty under orders on a Civil Support Team. (2) Their pay equals 1/30 of the monthly rate under (b) for each day they perform that duty. (d) The Secretary of Defense writes the regulations for this special pay. (e) "Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team" means a reserve-component team set up under section 12310(c) of title 10 to support emergency-preparedness programs preparing for or responding to a weapon-of-mass-destruction emergency.
