Compare this with the Cold War when

The United States maintained about 320,000 military personnel in Europe, about ten percent of the European total.

How many U.S. personnel are there today in the US and abroad?

There were a total of 1.3 million active duty military and more than 800,000 reserve forces as of September 2017, according to Defense Department personnel data.

So 173,000 are deployed in other countries, about half in Germany and Japan.

The European Union's combined active military forces in 2016 totaled 1,410,626 personnel.
