Security and capability

The Correlates of War (COW) National Material Capabilities dataset records zero active military personnel for Liechtenstein in 2022, and assigns it a Composite Index of National Capability (CINC) score of 1.4068648e-06 for the same year — consistent with a state that COW tracks as having no standing armed force among the capabilities it measures.
