DCPAS and CENTCOM Approve Standard of Living Allowance for Bahrain Grade Employees

19 August 2024

From Lt. j.g. Bryan Blair, NSA Bahrain Public Affairs

At the recommendation of Joint Civilian Personnel Committee Bahrain (JCPC), U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and Defense Civilian Personnel Advisory Services (DCPAS) have approved an increase to the monthly Standard of Living Allowance for Bahrain Grade (BG) employees, effective Aug. 1, 2024.
This increase is the first of its kind since the addition of the Standard of Living Allowance to the Total Compensation Comparability Plan in 2018. This increase in the standard of living allowance will be an increase of 40 Bahraini Dinar (BHD) monthly for BG's 1-8 and 35 BHD monthly for BG's 9-14.
 
Capt. Zachariah Aperauch, commanding officer, Naval Support Activity (NSA) Bahrain, applauded the efforts of the JCPC for an achievement that will mean so much for NSA Bahrain’s BG personnel.
 
“Our local national workforce is the heart and soul of this installation,” said Aperauch. “The majority of our BGs have been a part of our family for years, if not decades. This is a well-deserved and long overdue win for the BG community, and absolutely a win for NSA Bahrain as well.”
 
NSA Bahrain's mission is to support U.S. and coalition maritime operations throughout the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations by providing security for ships, aircraft and tenants on board NSA Bahrain and assigned detachments. NSA Bahrain provides efficient and effective shore services to sustain the fleet, enable the fighter and support the family with honor, courage and commitment.
