The Secretary concerned must pay reservists the same special or incentive pay, in dollar amount, as active-duty members doing similar work. This applies when the pay is for keeping the same skill certification, or for facing the same hazards, as the active-duty member.
Even though section 1004 normally applies, the Secretary concerned* must pay* a reserve-component member* special or incentive pay in the same monthly dollar amount paid to a regular-component member of the same armed force who does comparable work needing comparable skills. This rule applies when the Secretary is paying the reservist that special or incentive pay for one of two reasons: (1) to keep a skill certification or proficiency identical to what's required of the regular-component member; or (2) to make up for exposure to hazards or risks identical to those the regular-component member faced.
Notwithstanding section 1004 of this title, the Secretary concerned* shall pay* a member* of the reserve component* of an armed force special or incentive pay in the same monthly amount as that paid to a member in the regular component of such armed force performing comparable work requiring comparable skills if the Secretary concerned is paying the member of the reserve component the special or incentive pay for the purpose of—
maintaining a skill certification or proficiency identical to a skill certification or proficiency required of the member in the regular component; or
compensating the member of the reserve component for exposure to hazards or risks identical to hazards or risks to which the member in the regular component was exposed.
