First world: GDP per capita + $151,000 Second world: GDP per capita + $11,000 Third world: GDP per capita +$1000 Guy with AK-47 and tin hat: GDP per Capita Deployed troops (AKA in a war zone/peacekeeping force/whatever): double previous cost. Reserves: a quarter of the previous cost (this applies for vehicles in reserve as well) This cost per soldier does not apply for soldiers in the navy or air force. Please work out how much your military costs to maintain before you start modifying how much equipment/troops you have. If you can't find the price when new of something then estimate a reasonable price. If you're unsure what to estimate then please ask. sorry for the delay.
