Global Fire Power has published recent numbers on the military might of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces, employing an approach that does more than simply tally all resources from available member states. 

The website used an approach that sees a minimum 10% commitment to each category per nation to reach the projected totals, providing a better overlook of the military capabilities of NATO. 

For context, as of March 2022, NATO's member states are: Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

In terms of combined manpower, NATO has 466,590 personnel, 336,690 frontline manpower, and 129,900 reserve manpower. 

As for airpower, NATO has 2,074 airpower units, 353 fighters and interceptors, 105 Dedicated Attack Cargo (AC), 154 Fixed-wing transport units, 101 Special-Mission AC units, 68 Aerial Refueling units, 848 helicopter units, and 136 Attack Helicopters.

There are 1,515 tanks, 11,653 armored fighting vehicles, 504 self-propelled guns, 578 towed artillery, and 292 rocket artillery.

In total naval assets, there are 204 hulls, 3 aircraft carriers, 2 helicopter carriers, 12 destroyers, 14 frigates, 9 corvettes, 22 submarines, and 16 mine warfare vessels.

There is 40,520,410 labor force personnel. 

While there is $1.17 billion in the budget, combined oil production reaches 1,827,294 barrels a day. 

The future of NATO has been widely debated for years, as the ability of its members to carry out broad military missions has been subject to a lot of questions, despite the Friday statements made by NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, in which he said that he expected clear commitments from member states to increase defense spending in 2023.
