Parachutists in these divisions comprise approx- imately 55 percent of the Army members receiving rgachute pay. In addition, we reviewed the Army's practice for des- ignating certain positions in nonairborne units as para- chute- duty positions. We examined individual parachute jump records and pay records and held discussions with Army officials. BACKGROUND The law (37 U.S.C. 301) provides for incenti ypy of $110 a month to officers and $55 a month to enlisted person- nel required, by orders, to make parachute jumps as an es- sential part of their military duty. Executive Order 11157, dated June 22, 1964, requires that, to be entitled to para- chute duty pay, a member make a minimum of one parachute jump during any 3 consecutive months. In fiscal year 1973, the Department of Defense obli- gated for parachute pay about $26 million, of which $24.7 million was for the Army. A summary of authorized Army parachute duty positions and members receiving parachute pay, based on Army records, follows. 7o4~ [O760OS5
