Summary: The IISS have been publishing this annual for many years and it has become the authoritative reference work for data on world armed forces*. It consists mainly of comprehensive listings of the orders of battle of each nation's armed forces. Data includes numbers, types of platforms, command and organisational sturctures. Commentary is also provided for each of the major regions that the work is divided into i.e.the United States, NATO-Europe, Non-NATO Europe, Asia, etc. These sections are chiefly concerned with defence procurement issues. For more in depth analysis of strategic and geopolitical issues one should look at the companion annual Strategic Survey which is also published by the Institute. *Jane's publish more detailed annuals separately for Navies, Air Forces etc but The Military Balance is the best overview in a single volume.
