What are the US Army pension scheme?

The U.S. Army pension scheme primarily includes the Military Retirement System, which offers a defined benefit plan for service members who serve a minimum of 20 years. Retirees receive a monthly pension based on their years of service and the average of their highest 36 months of basic pay. Additionally, the Blended Retirement System (BRS), implemented in 2018, combines a traditional pension with a Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) that includes government contributions, allowing service members to save for retirement while still in service. Eligibility and benefits can vary based on the length of service and the date of entry into the military.
