Key Takeaways
Military personnel in Gambia showed minimal variation during the analyzed period, remaining at around 1,000 from 1992 to 2016. In 1990, troop numbers briefly peaked at 2,000, likely reflecting heightened security needs during political transitions. By 1992, personnel levels stabilized, aligning with the country's limited defense budget and focus on regional peacekeeping rather than military expansion.

The consistency in troop numbers underscores Gambia's reliance on external partnerships for national security and its commitment to maintaining a modest defense force.
