As of 2010 estimate, the Pakistan Armed Forces had approximately 617,000 personnel on active duty with 513,000 in serves as reserve as well as 304,000 personnel serving in the paramilitary forces, and approximately 20,000 serving in the Strategic Plans Division forces, giving a total of almost 1,451,000 personnel.
