Finland's official policy states that a wartime military strength of 280,000 personnel constitutes a sufficient deterrent.

The army defends the national territory and its military strategy employs the use of the heavily forested terrain and numerous lakes to wear down an aggressor, instead of attempting to hold the attacking army on the frontier.
