Ter-Grigoryants and civilian officials in the Armenian Ministry of Defense including Vazgen Manukyan and Vazgen Sargsyan sought to establish a "small, well-balanced, combat-ready defense force."^[5] The third phase began after the end of the war and continues on until today.

Most of the army's staff officers were members of the former Soviet military as an estimated 5,000 Armenians were serving as high level officers in it prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union.^[6] Almost immediately after its independence, Armenia was embroiled in the Nagorno-Karabakh War with neighboring input transformation. Intending to establish a force of 30,000 men, the army's standing force increased to 50,000 by early 1994.
