Asian Military Balance
The Asian military balance section provides a wide range of reports that provide a net assessment of the military trends in Asia, and a detailed statistical analysis of Asian military efforts and forces. It combines data on the trends in defense efforts, spending, procurement and RDT&E, manpower, and land, air, naval and the proliferation of long-range missiles and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons.
