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
