Fort Bliss BAH

Fort Bliss is paid at HOLLOMAN AFB/ALAMOGORDO, NM, housing area NM205. An E-5 with dependents draws $1,590 a month there, tax free.

Why the names don't matchThe DoD sets one rate per housing area, not per base, and names the area after the civilian housing market it measures. Fort Bliss sits inside HOLLOMAN AFB/ALAMOGORDO, NM, so that's the rate it pays.
