U.S. 1995 Data for the UN Conventional Arms Register

Walkling, Sarah, Arms Control Today

Adapted as a voluntary measure by the UN General Assembly in 1991, the register provides the total number of weapons imported and exported for seven categories of weapons: battle tanks; armored combat vehicles (ACVs); large-calibre artillery systems; combat aircraft; attack helicopters; warships; and missiles and missile launchers. The register also collects information on domestic military holdings and procurement and on national arms transfer policies.
