>"More than 20 special operations forces are in Pakistan to train the Frontier Corps" - how many soldiers is "20 forces"? The military something surely has weird units of measure. Up to now, it was 1 troop (also an unknown number of people per one), now it's 1 force.

The wording is that way for a reason. :o) You just demonstrated one reason for it. :o) Also, note that it specifically mentioned "Special Operations Forces." Not military forces, not civilian intelligence forces, not paid contract forces, not joint operation forces....
