That sentence, in plain words

This money pays soldiers on active duty. It also pays cadets and students in the officer training corps. The sum is over 54 billion dollars.

What this is about

Each service gets its own line for pay. The Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps lines follow this one. The money also goes to the fund that pays military pensions.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
