(Redirected from Romanian Army)
The 'Romanian Armed Forces' (''Forţele Armate Române'' or ''Armata Română'') consists of three branches:
★ Romanian Land Forces
★ Romanian Naval Forces
★ Romanian Air Force
Main articles: Romania and NATO
Romania joined NATO in 2004. As a consequence, extensive preparations have been made for the abolishment of conscription and the transition to a professional army by 2007, which would include '90,000' men and women. About '75,000' of these are the military personnel, while '15,000' is made up of civilians. ''60,000'' of the 90,000 will be the active forces, while ''30,000'' comprise the territorial forces [4]. Out of the '75,000' troops which comprise the actual military, ca. '45,800' make up the Romanian Land Forces, '13,250' are the Romanian Air Force and '6,800' are in the Romanian Naval Forces, while the remaining '8,800' serve in other fields [5].
According to the Romanian Ministry of Defence, the Romanian Military had at the end of 2006 about 93,600 men and women[6].
The Romanian Military has essentially undergone a three-stage restructuring. As of 2007, the first short-term stage will be completed. 2015 marks the end of the second stage when the armed forces will reach a manpower of about '80,000', whereby more than about 75,000 will comprise the actual military, while the rest will be civilians. [6] [8].
In 2025, the long-term stage is to be completed. The stages aim at modernizing the structure of the armed forces, reducing the personnel as well as acquiring newer and more improved technology that is compatible with NATO standards[8].
The following Romanian institutions have military status but are not part of the Army:
★ Romanian Gendarmerie (''Jandarmeria Română''), subordinated to the Ministry of Interior and Administrative Reform
★ ''Inspectoratul General al Corpului Pompierilor Militari'' (Military Firefighters) and ''Comandamentul ProtecÅ£iei Civile'' (Civil Defense), merged into the Romanian Inspectorate for Emergency Situations within the Ministry of the Interior
★ ''Serviciul Român de InformaÅ£ii'' (Romanian Intelligence Service)
★ ''Serviciul de ProtecÅ£ie ÅŸi Pază'' (provides protection to Romanian and foreign officials)
★ ''Serviciul de TelecomunicaÅ£ii Speciale'' (Special Telecommunications Service)
★ ''Serviciul de InformaÅ£ii Externe'' (Foreign Intelligence Service)
★ List of the Chiefs of the General Staff of Romania
★ List of countries by number of active troops
