[Karen Aram]

Of particular interest is the over 34,000 (unknown/unspecified.)

Very neat graph!

I looked for the source.  The page mentions "SOURCE: DoD, SIPRI (2015 data), Politico".   It may well be that Politico used the data which had been there but now is inaccessible.

Dear Peace-discuss,

I find this interesting.
I was searching for the numbers of U.S. military troops we currently have in countries.

The website of DMDC is off-line. The Defense Manpower Data Center is widely quoted as the official count of military personnel. https://www.dmdc.osd.mil<https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/>

Each year since 1950, the U.S. Department of Defense has provided on its web site detailed information about the deployment of American troops around the world.

Other websites that are down:
us.army.mil<http://us.army.mil/>
The Marine Corps website even has broken links: “To find more information about Marine Corps installations, please visit the following link: http://www.usmc.mil/units/Pages/category.aspx . This link is broken so defaults back to the www.marines.mil<http://www.marines.mil/> front page

I will continue looking for the current information. I just thought I would share the "Wow, it has always been here but now it is not" discovery.
