The United Arab Emirates Armed Forces as of 2018 consist of more than 60,000 personnel and are headquartered in Abu Dhabi.
The armed forces have been deployed in various military and humanitarian missions. Owing to their "active and effective military role despite their small personnel", the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces have been nicknamed "Little Sparta" by United States Armed Forces General and former US defence secretary James Mattis.
