Key Takeaways
Ghana's military personnel levels remained relatively stable, starting at 9,000 in 1990, dropping to 7,000 by 1992, and experiencing a modest increase to 16,000 by 2007. The rise reflects Ghana's expanding role in international peacekeeping missions, particularly within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the United Nations.

The consistency in troop numbers underscores Ghana's focus on regional stability and maintaining a well-trained, adaptable military force without significant expansions.
