Where US Troops Are Based Around The World

The recent political turmoil in South Korea has left many uncertain about its implications for the country and the region. Following President Yoon Suk Yeol’s controversial call for martial law, which was later retracted, six opposition parties have moved to impeach him. According to the Washington Post, the U.S. administration was caught off guard by Yoon’s televised announcement, with the Pentagon clarifying that they were not involved in the events.

With a significant military presence in South Korea, including troops and weaponry, the U.S. plays a crucial role in the region. The strategic importance of the base is twofold, providing the U.S. with leverage in the area and offering South Korea a strong deterrent against nuclear-armed North Korea.

According to data from the Defense Manpower Data Center, South Korea hosts the third-highest number of active U.S. troops outside the contiguous U.S., with over 23,000 personnel.

This places South Korea behind Japan (52,852) and Germany (34,894) in terms of U.S. troop deployment. As of June 2024, there were 165,830 active personnel stationed overseas, totaling 1,294,191 including those within the U.S.

These figures encompass various military branches, including the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard. The count also factors in personnel assigned to State Department and foreign embassies, excluding those on temporary duty or deployed for contingency operations.

As depicted in Statista’s infographic by Anna Fleck below, nearly every country with U.S. military presence is highlighted on the map.

Notably, 140 of the 170 countries listed have between one and 100 active U.S. personnel.

According to Global Fire Power, the U.S. boasts the third-largest active-duty military force globally in 2024, with 1.3 million personnel, trailing behind China (2 million) and India (1.5 million).
