Jane's world armies/ edited by Eleanor Keymer

COVERAGE AND ARRANGEMENT: Directory of every national army in the world arranged A-Z by country. Each entry includes: Overview of armed forces; command and control of armed forces; army organisation including chains of command, role and deployment, and training programmes; equipment in service - armour, artillery, anti-tank, army aviation and air defence; current internal and external security developments and recent operations, participation in UN Operations, presence of foreign forces; and details of defence procurement - budgets, defence industry, recent purchases and potential future requirements. This book provides detail on army organisation, but there is some overlap with information contained in the 'Jane's Sentinel' series of publications. An executive summary discusses major developments in armies of the world - this issue mentions India, Japan, and Malaysia. The introductory pages also have comparative tables for all countries of army personnel and land systems in service.
