In 2022, the top three countries were Japan, Germany and South Korea.

As of September 2022, there are 171,736 active-duty military troops across 178 countries, with the most in Japan (53,973), Germany (35,781), and South Korea (25,372). These three countries also have the most U.S. military bases - 120, 119, and 73, respectively.
