The Army National Guard has made major strides in clearing a mountain of unpaid enlistment bonuses that had lingered for years, new service component data shows.
As of January 2024, it owed bonuses to about 56,000 soldiers -- incentives worth up to $20,000 that are largely used to attract recruits to high-demand positions.Today, that backlog has dropped to under 13,000 soldiers, with Guard leaders aiming to fully wipe the slate clean by October, according to Lt. Col. Carla Raisler, an Army National Guard spokesperson.

Guard Incentive Management System (GIMS) has been a mess since 2018, when the server room had a catastrophic failure (fire), and we found out the "backup" servers were in that same room.
Pro tip: in the IT world, "backup" means it's at a minimum not in the same server room, where a failure takes out both.
