The largest army in the world, as of 2022, belongs to China with about 2M active members, according to the CIA's World Factbook.
India holds the #2 spot with 1.5M followed by the United States with about 1.3M - yet the nation's military spending totals more than twice as much as China and India combined.
U.S. active-duty service members are based around the world, but the vast majority of them - nearly 1.2M - are stationed in the U.S.
