TennesseeArnold Air Force Base BAH
Arnold Air Force Base is paid at the rural rate band for its county, housing area ZZ630. An E-5 with dependents draws $1,425 a month there, tax free.
Why the names don't matchThe DoD publishes no housing area of its own for this county, so Arnold Air Force Base draws the rate band it sets for counties without one. That band covers many counties across several states, which is why it has a number rather than a name.
