파라과이 군사력 현황, 2008년 기준

Army
Of the three services, the army has the majority of personnel, resources, and influence. It is organized into three corps, with six infantry divisions and three cavalry divisions. The army has two primary functions: to maintain the national defense, including internal order, and to manage some civic action projects in the countryside.

Prior to the failed coup of April 2000, R.C. 1 and R.C. 3 were classified as “mechanized” and equipped respectively with the eight surviving re-engined M-8 Greyhound armoured cars and five M3 half-tracks of World War II vintage and 23 EE-9 Cascavel armoured cars and seven EE-11 wheeled APCs. R.C. 2 was classified as “armoured” and equipped with the a mixture of Argentine modified M-4A3 Sherman and Sherman Firefly medium and the survivors of 15 M-3A1 Stuart light tanks. The Presidential Guard operated the remaining seven Cascavels and three Urutús. After the coup the Sherman tanks were returned to the Presidential Guard, which had operated them until the 1989 coup which deposed General Stroessner and all other armoured vehicles were stored. Presumably as the disgraced cavalry units are politically re-habilitated the usable AFVs will onc　e more be issued. The beginning of this process was noted in November 2001 when two EE-9 armoured cars and a single EE-11 APC were allocated to CE III in which they are believed to be operated by the Cavalry Squadron of D.I. 6. During the same month, two tanks and a single APC of unspecified types were allocated to both CE II and CE III. 8 to 10 M4 Sherman are in service.
