List of countries by number of active troops
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of countries sorted by the total number of active troops where the military manpower of a country is measured by the total amount of active troops within the command of that country. Reserved forces which can aid a depleted active military and/or paramilitary are also listed to illustrate a country's total manpower. Please understand that these numbers are approximations based on real numbers, and that military forces around the world are constantly changing in manpower.
