The daily allowance a Moldovan military member deployed in Iraq receives will rise by $30 to $100, after the Government on Wednesday endorsed a proposal by Defense Minister Vitalie Vrabie, who argued that the Moldovan troops serve in a hazardous area, near Mosul, some 400km north of Baghdad, Info-Prim Neo reports. The leadership of the Multi-National Force rate highly the professional skills of the Moldovan military men. For this reason, they deserve a bigger allowance, also taking into account the pays their colleagues in the Multi-National Force get, Minister Vrabie added. So far, the Moldovan contingent deployed in Iraq since August 19, have disarmed over 3,000 mines and other explosives. Their morale is good, the minister informed. The money for the raise will be allocated from MoD's budget. An average U.S. sergeant on mission in Iraq, with six years of service and with family, for example, receives around $4,500 a month.
