As the ECOWAS troops prepare to storm The Gambia on the mission to remove President Yahya Jammeh, see the military strength of the country.
The Gambian National Army (GNA) had a strength of 1,000 personnel in 2013 (900 from the GNA, 100 from the Gambian Air Force). The GNA is made up of two infantry battalions, an engineering squadron, and smaller logistics, signals and intelligence units, plus the presidential guard company.
