Welcome to the September 2026 edition of the Army Index. It is similar to the Top Ten, but here armies gain points based on how “army-like” they behave each month, according to numerous metrics.

If you are unfamiliar with how the Army Index works, you can check the first version, where everything is explained in detail. The formula remains the same as last month in August, when there were some balance changes. Without further ado, let’s look at August’s Army Index, which sees quite a bit of variation from last month.
