Syria's full-time military numbers around 320,000 and reserves are about 350,000 strong. Check this link for info on their military equipment (aircraft, tanks, artillery, etc.) [http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/index.html], go to the links BELOW the United States info.

Chris, A fantastic resource if you can get a hold of it is an annual reference book called "The Military Balance" by the London-based International Institute of Strategic Studies (basically the London counterpart to CSIS--definite heavyweights). If you happen to be near a major public library (especially a university one), it's likely that they'll have a copy. --Phoenix Rising
