The armed forces are currently undergoing a massive reorganization and improvement program, of which is expected to enter "Phase II" in early 2020.
Conscription
Conscription was abolished in Narsora in 1994, although it can be reinstated if the situation is deemed necessary for it.
Strength
Total strength (as of Oct.2019) is around 110,000 personnel. Beginning 2015, the military began a massive reorganization process, most notably a 34% reduction in total personnel from 187,000 to 110,000. And also reducing the number of reserve personnel and increasing the number of active troops, this is part of Phase l of the military's Programa de Guerra Futura 2030 (English: Future Warfare Program 2030).
Expenditures
The budget for the military was set at around $11.3 billion for the 2019 year. Nearly three times the amount in 2009.
The Ministry of Defense has a approved a fixed annual pay for all non-commissioned personnel across all branches at $58,464 (N$22,318). The pay for military personnel has been a topic of contention since the nation's founding, with the armed forces siding with the public during the 21-O Revolution. Primarily over the low salary that it's members had been given.
