Post Description

The Military Balance is updated each year to provide an accurate assessment of the military forces and defence economics of 170 countries. Each edition contributes to the provision of a unique compilation of data and information enabling the reader to discern trends through the examination of editions back to the first edition in 1959. The data in the current edition are according to IISS assessments as at November 2009. Inclusion of a territory, country or state in The Military Balance does not imply legal recognition or indicate support for any government.
