	Royal Thai Army
		Tactically, the army was organized into seven infantry divisions (including five tank battalions), one armored division, one cavalry division (with an armor capability), eight independent infantry battalions, two special forces divisions trained and geared for small unit special and airborne operations, one field artillery division, and one air defense artillery division.

		Army troop strength was held at about 190,000 by lowering the conscription rate as the force moved toward becoming a totally volunteer army.
