Note: Data exclude most paramilitary, security, and irregular forces. Naval data exclude vessels of less than 100 tons standard displacement. Figures are for June 1995.

Because of substantive changes in national forces and reassessments of evidence, data may not be comparable with previous editions.

{1}Includes combat aircraft from all services, including naval and air defense. Light strike/counterinsurgency aircraft are included in bomber/fighter-ground-attack

category. Reconnaissance includes maritime reconnaissance and antisubmarine warfare aircraft.

{2}Includes air defense troops.

{3}Main battle tanks (MBT), weighing at least 16.5 metric tons with gun of at least 75-mm calibre.

{4}Some countries have staffs, centrally controlled units, support services, military police, regular armed forces not responsible to the Ministry of Defense, and the like,

which means total armed forces are greater than the sum of the three armed forces.

{5}Includes marines or naval infantry.

{6}Includes strategic missile forces.
