I compiled some data from a recognised source (listed below). 'just the facts' may wish to peruse this or go to the website and study the facts at leisure. This may seem incomprehensible at first. All this information is from formated charts on that site and the headings will identify what the specific columns mean. The order of these countries is as determined by the site administration. The important thing here is that a a higher number in any given column is better or stronger, a lower number weaker. So, if you count over from the name of the country to say the 6th term you will see that county's actual military size in thousands. If you count over to the ninth term you will find how many armored vehicles the country has (tenth is aircraft). Others are population, leadership, training, experience, etc. The administrators weighted all of this to come up with the order of their lists and listed the Armies by geographical locations.
None of this considers naval strength or carrier based aircraft. This isn't even a contest because the naval strength of the USA is far more than all the other countries of the world combined.

Bangladesh 5 31 20 131 $40 135 $680 $5 370 80 6 4 6 3 3 4
From the information on this list I derive my list of military capability. Others may find a different order.
1. USA -- The only nation capable of invading and conquering almost any other nation -- Russia and China perhaps being exceptions.
2. China -- A very dominant force within their geographical limits, but almost incapable of operating outside of Asia. Their army alone I would rank second in ground power. They are not first because of old technology and lack of equipment and leadership.
3. Israel -- The only nation known to be capable of dominating their area of operations. Their armored vehicles are more than all the Arab states around them and they are nuke owners with the best navy in the region.
4 and 5. N Korea and S. Korea -- Both have large standing armies with massive numbers of armored vehicles that are well trained and maintained at a fighting ready status constantly. It's only a tie because S.Korea is backed by the USA.
6. UK An excellent and well trained army with both dedicated men and leadership but limited in size and somewhat in global deployment. It does retain some naval capabilities even today.
I won't even go further because too many exigencies exist about many other armies. Will their leadership perform (Iran, Egypt, Syria), are they rift with graft and corruption (Saudi Arabia, Afganistan, Pakistan and Russia). Etc. Anyhow, after those mentioned, does the remaining order make any significant difference? If forced to continue the ranking I would take a long first look at India.....

The answer is very subjectives and most probably bias.
Imagine this try ask an American, most probably he going to said the best Army is the US army why ? "Because we're the world super power, we have the advance military technology in the world we can invade any country that we want without the need of assistance from others". That's statement is true, but what about in Vietnam where the enemy is less sophisticated than US.
Try ask a Brits, again he going to said "Our Royal Army is the best why ? it is because British empire occupies the most territory in the world compare to other super power, We're so good that there's even an organization of country the used to be under our empire called "Commonwealth" "
Try ask a Russian, he going to said " Our Red Army is the best, we're have them in numbers, not British nor USA have the amount of soldier like we do. In WW2 our Red Army not only prevent the invasion of Nazi, we repel them back to the Germany, and guest who arrives first to find the body of Hitler, it is us the glorious Red Army"
I think you get where I'm going with the statement above, it's very hard to answer your question. because this not a simple objective answer.
