United States military deployments

Countries in which the U.S. has a military presence in 2013 This map shows the current deployments of the US military. Most of the deployments on this map that are less than 100 troops are usually less than fifty military personnel, just for public knowledge. The lightest blue means less than a hundred US troops; the aqua teal mix, which is a little brighter, means more than a hundred troops; and the darkest blue on map means more than 1,000 troops. This map has those listed as part of Overseas Contingency Operation Deployments integrated in, while military dependents and civilian personnel are omitted.

The military of the United States is deployed in more than 150 countries around the world, with 164,253 of its active-duty personnel serving outside the United States and its territories not including the 38,670 members of the US Armed Forces.^{[citation needed]} US troops are spread across the globe: over 68,000 reside in Europe; 51,000 in East Asia and the Pacific region; over 4,400 in North Africa, the Near East, and South Asia; over 1,900 in the Western Hemisphere; 269 in Sub-Saharan Africa; and less than 100 in states of the former Soviet Union.^[1] Of those in Europe, most of the military personnel are located at installations activated during the Cold War, by which the US government sought to challenge the Soviet Union in the aftermath of World War II.^[2]

U.S. personnel are seeing active combat in Afghanistan. Others are deployed as part of several peacekeeping missions, military attachés, or are part of embassy and consulate security.
