I recently read that out of the UK's 90,000 troops, we could theoretically deploy a maximum of 60,000 at any given time.
Out of pure curiosity I was wondering what the figure for the US is, without resorting to the draft of course.

The US is meant to have about 1.5 million in the armed forces isnt it? So I would say maybe 500,000 at one time, if it was really pushing it. And it probably couldnt sustain it for long.
