The United States has over 200,000 troops stationed in 144 countries and territories. At any given time, it usually has another 20,000 sailors and Marines deployed afloat on Navy ships.

interesting from the same article which btw has numbers on where the troops are located

The United States also has almost 4,000 troops in the Persian Gulf (Kuwait and Saudi Arabia) to guard against an Iraqi attack that is now improbable. An analyst from the Defense Intelligence Agency noted that, because of the Persian Gulf War and grinding economic sanctions, less than 40 percent of Iraq's military remains; Iraq is probably incapable of conducting an assault over an extended distance into Saudi Arabia.

I believe that many of the others are assigned to more mundane tasks in a great many of the 144 other countries, doing work related to diplomatic missions such as embassy work. Some are involved in peace keeping missions as well

They should also indicate how much each deployment costs the taxpayer.
