Spain

The Spanish army came into existence around the late 15th century, with its primary goal being the defense of the Spanish peninsula and a few other islands under the reign of the country. Moderately sized, the fleet recruits about 75K personnel, along with thousands of armed vehicles it owns and operates.

While this particular military had about a million soldiers back in the times of the first and the second world wars, it has drastically reduced owing to the peace treaties that followed between the European nations. As of 2022, it featured a range of commands for all sorts of operations.

Pakistan

Headquartered in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, this army is one of the most brutal forces in the world. USA Today listed it as the sixth largest fleet globally. While many countries have ended all sorts of warfare post the two world wars, this country is still in an uproar with its arch-enemy and neighbor, India.

Even the Taliban were trained by this command back in the days of the Cold War between America and Russia to combat the communist units. Comprising the ground troops, navy, and airforce, the nation’s military institution dates back to the days of British occupation, which ended in the mid-1900s.

Germany

Fully equipped with the best modern technology, the German forces are composed of about 183.6K active military personnel and about 30K in reserve, making it rank in the top 30 armies worldwide and the second largest in the European Union, only behind France.

After World War II ended, the German army dissolved, thereby leaving the state without a defense system in place. Following the formation of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949, a proper military organization began operating in 1955 with an iron cross as its symbol. It is known as Bundeswehr in its native land (Federal Defence in English).
