 * Spain is in NATO since 1982
 * France was outside military structures of NATO between 1966-1995

Spain
The map shows Spain as having 9,000 troops. At first, I thought that might have been the number of US troops in Spain, but the map also shows 200,000 in Portugal and 500,000 in France, so that can't be correct, nor could it be correct that Spain had only 9,000 troops.

Spain errors
That number is completely wrong. I don't know exactly the number, but the "Policia Armada y de Trafico", which acted as the Police and had military consideration totalled 20.000 already in 1968. The total number of manpower of the combined army, navy, air force, Guardia Civil, Police and other minor corps probably totalled more than the million men. Anyway, in 1973 Spain was not in the NATO. This map has many inconsistencies and lack of sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.37.210.225 (talk) 05:16, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
