1970–2026Hover for values. Use ← → between bars, Enter for the source.
Coverage and method
Annual military personnel in thousands, as published in NATO statistical releases. Historical editions use annual strength or annual-average strength; the 2026 edition defines peacetime strength excluding trained reserves at high readiness. These are personnel, not all civilian ministry employees, reservists or an estimate of military capability. Sources and vintage are preserved for each year.
Historical NATO releases; definitions and revisions differ. 2025–2026 are estimates. See the 2003 definition break and 2023–2024 revisions in the sources.
