I'm not sure how it works for the US army but don't people get "mission" wages which are many times the base wage they'd get if they were at home?

Not an expert but based on my research it doesn't seem like this is a meaningful number at an individual level or at the aggregate base level: http://www.militaryrates.com/military-pay-incentives

They get hazardous duty pay if they are serving in a hazardous zone, I dont think they get anything extra for serving at a peaceful base, no matter where it is.
