Revision as of 00:08, 26 April 2012

This is a list of countries by number of troops. It includes any government-sponsored troops used to further the domestic and foreign policies of their respective government. The term "country" is used in the sense of state which exercises sovereignty or has limited recognition.

Countries by number of active troops (2009)

The list consists of columns which can be sorted by clicking on the appropriate title:

  • The names of the states, accompanied by their respective national flags.
  • The military members on active duty, that are currently serving full time in their military capacity.
  • The troops of the reserve force, that are not normally kept under arms and their main role is be available to fight when a nation mobilizes for emergency.
  • The paramilitary forces, armed units that are not considered part of a nation's formal military forces.
  • The total number of troops, and the ratio per thousand inhabitants.

These numbers are approximations as military forces around the world are constantly changing in size.

Many of the 178 countries listed here, especially those with the highest number of total troops, such as the two Koreas and Vietnam, include a large number of paramilitaries, civilians and policemen in their reserve personnel. Some countries, such as Italy and Japan, have only volunteers into their armed forces; while others, such as Iceland and Panama, have no national armies, but only a paramilitary force.
