US troops statistics and where to find them?

October 19, 2004 10:52 PM

Does anyone have a source that lists the total number of US troops, the number currently deployed, where these troops are specifically deployed and the number of troops that are not on active duty.

Here are some links that may help you.

This one in particular seems to answer at least part of your question.

Every month the DoD releases a summary; for more information, you can troll the Directorate for Information Operation and Reports. Here is Active Duty Personnel by service and country of deployment, from last March. For troops not on active duty, see the Reserve Affairs FAQ which gives the statutory authorized strength for various components and the limitations on callups.
