The government recently announced a salary increase for military personnel of the Armed Forces and the Naval Establishments Police, effective March. According to the Ministry of Defense, this measure recognizes the effort and sacrifice of those dedicated to national defense. The increase will be 5% and is part of a process of ranking and strengthening these institutions.
"Along with President Javier Milei, we continue to advance in the ranking and strengthening of those who dedicate their lives to the defense of the homeland," stated the Ministry. The new pay scale establishes that personnel of the Naval Establishments Police will see an increase in their salaries, which will vary between $301,454 and $774,950 depending on rank.
The resolution published in the Official Bulletin highlights the importance of recognizing the capacity, responsibility, and dedication required for the work of the Armed Forces and the Naval Establishments Police. This measure is part of a phased evaluation of personnel, aiming to maintain similar standards to those of the National Public Administration.
The modernization plan for the Armed Forces includes the acquisition of new Lockheed and Embraer airplanes, modernization of tanks, and other salary improvements. However, resignations in the Argentine Air Force have raised concerns about a decrease in contracts with the Armed Forces.
In summary, the salary increase for the Armed Forces and the Naval Establishments Police is part of a process of ranking and recognition of the efforts of those who work in national defense.
