UK is sixth on the Global Power Index. Meaning it punches above its weight. However, the UK like the USA is a naval, air, and expeditionary force. The UK has sacrificed expeditionary (land) forces like most of europe, but still maintains the capacity to project modern power.

The USA’s military population is largely logistical and technical, so it’s fighting force is overstated as there are only 200K fighting soldiers in it and that group is highly dependent upon the Special Forces from the different groups, whose numbers are on the order of 70,000.

DATA:
US Army Ground Combat Personnel: Estimated between 138,300 and 184,400.
US Marine Corps Ground Combat Personnel: Estimated between 50,750 and 71,050.
(Total: Approximately 200,000.)
Special Operations Forces: Estimated 70,000 across all branches.
