Army Reserve pay while deployed?

Am I am the only one that is utterly confused by the Army Reserve pay while my DH will be deployed?  This deployment is sneaking up on me so quickly and I still have not been able to figure out all this pay stuff.  What pay does he really qualify for?  I know that he gets regular pay, BAH, hazard pay, and blah,blah and I cannot forget about that blah pay.  It is a well know fact that the Military lives and dies by acronyms, USMC, BAH, LES, USAR, DTS, etc.  I really could go on and on and on.  As the spouse of a Military man we do not always get educated about what all of this means.  Reserve families just do not have the option to go to their neighbor for advise when it comes to things like this.  Most of us do not live near a base and it can be really hard to find hard numbers concerning all of this jargon online.

I do understand that this is where you would lean on your Unit or the FRG, however as I have stated before our FRG has fell apart and the Unit is not receptive to any of us.  They put the dys in dysfunction.  We did recently get a new Commander and I am really hoping that there will be some changes for the better.  Only time will tell.

Update...My DH will be coming home from training on Monday and we are all very excited to see him.  We spent the weekend getting his honey do list done for him so that when he comes home all he will have to do is spend time with me and his children.  We have not told him, so I hope he is happy and relieved.  We are taking a mini family vacation next weekend and taking the kids to Busch Gardens.  I may post some pics.
