  4-12. All Pay Support actions initiated by the Service Member (SM) have to be routed through the proper
  channels in order to receive the appropriate level of approvals and verification for accuracy of
  substantiating documents. Figure 4-1 reflects the Pay Support document flow that affects the SMs pay
  starting with the SMs pay action until intended pay transactions are posted to the SM’s MMPA and
  feedback is provided back to the unit for SM notification. Additional information on Pay Support
  entitlements and procedures can be found in Volume 7A, DODFMR, Military Pay Policy and Procedures -
  Active Duty and Reserve Pay, Army Regulation 37-104-4, Military Pay and Allowances, and military pay
  messages. As indicated in figure 4-1, pay support changes also arise from actions such as congressionally
  approved pay raises, promotions, changes to allowances (e.g., cost of living allowances, basic allowance
  for housing), and other actions initiated external to the SM.

  SECTION II – RESERVE COMPONENT PAY
  4-13. Reserve Soldiers serve under a statutory or contractual obligation and are mobilized under Title 10
  United States Code. The Defense Joint Military Pay System (DJMS) – Reserve Component – is the system
  used to pay Ready Reserve Soldiers for weekend training, Annual Training and all other periods of active
  duty to include mobilization. Unlike DJMS-AC (Active Component), some type of transaction must be
  input in order for the system to generate pay. This system does not support allotments of pay. There are
  multiple pay dates (up to eight possible) each month. Each payment generates a separate Leave and Earning
  Statement (LES) that contains the information that applies to the specific payment. Unlike DJMS-AC, the
  end of month LES is not a summary LES for the month. Under mobilization, there will typically be a mid-
  month and end-of-month LES generated for the 1st and 15th pay dates. If a new entitlement begins, or a
  one-time payment or adjustment is entered for a pay date other than the 1st or 15th of the month, there will
  be another LES generated for that payment alone.
  4-14. There are several stages to the mobilization/demobilization process. It is essential to know what the
  phases are, what pay actions take place, and who is responsible for each phase.
