AFTERMATH OF WAR : Top Soldier’s Pay

Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf’s salary is based on his military pay grade of O-10--the highest--plus the number of years he has been in the service (34 years). He receives an ANNUAL BASE PAY OF $101,299 that is supplemented by a monthly allowance for food of $129. While he is in the Gulf, he also receives monthly combat pay of $110. Since Schwarzkopf lives on base, he does not receive a housing allowance.
