This study examines the number of military personnel and related topics in the NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) member states between 2014 and 2020. These two years are taken as a result of the NATO decisions at the Wales summit in 2014 to increase the defence expenditures against 2024 to 2% of the national GDP in every member and also to invest at least 20% of the national military budget in new material for the different army parts.
