In 1989 Romania maintained 180,000 men in its armed forces, or about 1 soldier for every 128 citizens--the second lowest ratio of regular military personnel to population in the Warsaw Pact. It compensated for this small regular force by maintaining large reserve and paramilitary formations.

Data as of July 1989
