Abstract

The Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty covers 30 countries across the Atlantic Ocean to the Ural Mountains (ATTU). This paper analyzes the armed forces in CFE and makes a comparison and relative ranking of CFE countries’ armaments using factor analysis. The results suggest that there are three different factors that explain the whole data set, and the military based comparison of countries is obtained by these factors. A general military power factor is also calculated for a general comparison.
