Which of these has one of the smallest military forces in the world?

The Sammarinese Armed Forces refers to the national military defence forces of the country of San Marino. It is one of the smallest military forces in the world

There is also a military Gendarmerie which is part of the military forces of the republic. The entire military corps of San Marino depends upon the co-operation of full-time forces and their retained (volunteer) colleagues, known as the Corpi Militari Volontari, or Voluntary Military Force. National defence in the face of aggressive world power is, by arrangement, the responsibility of Italy's armed forces.

The component parts of the military (other than the purely historical Crossbow Corps) are distinguished (as in many nations) by distinctive cap badges, one each for the Fortress Guard (uniformed), Fortress Guard (artillery), Guard of the Council, Uniformed Militia, Military Ensemble (band), and Gendarmerie. There is no compulsory service, however, under special circumstances, citizens aged 16 to 55 may be drafted for the defence of the state.

Very good, but HOW MANY are there?

Dissertation on tesla alset & a pinch about me: tesla has his way of keeping in the loop like all of the people who chime in with their "Got it" - he's participating and as you've noticed I have appreciated him for it. I when I am too tired to get real verbal pass it off with just the Yay me. to indicate I got it right and to signal that I too am around and participating. So lighten up on us for being here frequently. We love the game and we want to be noticed. Each in our own quirky way. I know a lot of you like tesla and I thank you for that. I think he's a fun guy and love when he goes all rogue and opens up with his real feelings. Tesla alset I hope I did not embarrass you. I am a fan of yours and I hope I did not misrepresent you here. Live in joy and happiness and watch for my notes in the future. Dianne💕

Nothing about the size, the focus of your question!!

dsneed, Tesla is a she, probably about my age and I'm in my late 60's. I have a feeling that you probably did not embarass her.

Ridiculous options, comparing a country barely seen on a map to a continent, the largest country in South America and an army so feared by Hitler, he was afraid to invade Poland until he made a deal with Stalin. Shame again Carol.

Since people can't be bothered to follow the link at the bottom of the answer I'm not going to do any maths. There are around 400 +/- people in the Sammarinese forces.

mmbyrd, exactly only time I'm nasty is when others are totally nasty to someone like her or myself. Lol

Sally Onyett, I know she's female as I consider her my friend. She has a son she's referenced to before and if you notice her cameo is male..some women said her son had passed yet she has never said that to me and I play and give her thumbs up everyday

Char

dsneed, I am so with you now sometimes I say nothing but remark occasionally. I just had to tell you me too. I look forward to all our nice comments.

GOT IT RIGHT

Although the question asks which of THESE (answer choices) has one of the smallest military forces in the world, and San Marino certainly qualifies, there are 23 countries that do not have a military. (ref: seeker.com)
