<p>In 2024, Romania's Army reached a total of 66,618 military personnel, an increase of only 200 compared to 2020, while Poland's Army saw a significant increase to 216,081. This contrast reflects a reduced concern of the Romanian government to strengthen the armed forces, which is also underlined by the decrease in military spending as a share of GDP.
