Key Takeaways
Cameroon experienced fluctuations in military personnel, reflecting both regional security challenges and economic factors. Personnel peaked at 24,000 in 1991 but dropped sharply to 12,000 in 1992, likely due to economic constraints.

Subsequent years saw gradual recovery, with levels stabilizing at 23,000 from 2002 to 2006. However, the count reduced again to 14,000 by 2007, a figure maintained through 2016, indicating a focus on restructuring and resource optimization amidst evolving security priorities.
