 * The number of military personnel on active duty that are currently serving full-time in their military capacity.
 * The number of military personnel in the reserve forces that are not normally kept under arms, whose role is to be available to mobilize when necessary.
 * The number of personnel in paramilitary forces: armed units that are not considered part of a nation's formal military forces.
 * The total number of active, reserve, and paramilitary personnel.
 * The ratio per thousand inhabitants of total military (active, reserve, and paramilitary).
 * The ratio per thousand inhabitants of active military only.

As military forces around the world are constantly changing in size, no definitive list can ever be compiled.

Many of the countries listed here, especially those with the highest number of total soldiers, include a large number of paramilitaries, civilians and policemen in their reserve personnel. Some countries, have only volunteers in their armed forces. Other countries, have no national armies, but only a paramilitary force.
