Does Rear Detachment pay differ during a deployment? If so, how?

I am in the reserves and my unit is scheduled to deploy at the end of the month. I have been told that I will be on rear Detatchment because of my on going paperwork to go active duty still being processed. I have been told by other soldiers in my unit that rear D us much different. I was also told that we don't get paid like we normally would.
Thanks

I’m active so I’m not sure how the pay works for you. But I would imagine you won’t be entitled to the same pay as the unit deploying.
You might see an increase in pay for your unit activating. The Personal actually deploy will receive the activated pay plus any deployment entitlements of that particular area.

Hope that helps!

SPC(P) Private RallyPoint Member I would get with some Soldiers whom have experienced to find that out in my honest opinion. I have never heard of it on Active Duty.

You will not get family separation pay if you are married, hazardous duty pay, and incidental pay. Nor, will you get a tax break.

No understand that I wont get any kind of active duty pay or any benefits like that. Bit what I have been told is that the pay that we normally get for a Drill weekend will be cut in half
