What was Troop Strength and preparedness?

Troop strength refers to the number of personnel available for military operations, indicating the size and capability of a military force. Preparedness involves the readiness of these troops, including their training, equipment, logistics, and overall ability to respond to potential threats or missions. High troop strength combined with strong preparedness can enhance a nation's defense capabilities and deterrent posture. Conversely, low strength or poor preparedness can leave a military vulnerable to challenges or conflicts.
