Force structure, readiness, power projection, and deterrence: the Bureau’s strategic assessment of Sint Maarten’s military capability — scored 0–100 across 24 causal dimensions.
Sint Maarten carries no military score in the Bureau’s v10 assessment (195 scored states). This is generally a territory without standing armed forces of its own — defense resting with the administering state — or with insufficient data for an honest assessment. Rather than invent a score, the Bureau withholds one.
Missing data is never treated as zero: no score is shown where observation is impossible.
Air power could not be observed in this assessment — missing data caps the score, it is never treated as zero.
