As of June 2024, roughly 165,830 U.S. military personnel were deployed across the Middle East, Indo-Pacific, and Europe, with numbers likely higher due to Middle Eastern unrest. Deployments include about 43,000 troops in the Middle East, 1,000 in Iraq, and significant forces in Europe and Asia to counter potential threats from Russia and China.
