France? Mmh
Well UK is a member of NATO and that's the only binding military agreement it is part of, that I know of. Another non-Nato countries that would want to intervene on its side in case of hostilities against UK would probably be Australia.
Basically it all boils down to the US, if you want my opinion.
And this should help you on the Navy information.

The brits are some of the best trained armed forces around. However with the exception of of the new Type 45 destroyers basically everything is a generation behind what the US has. Exception of the Challenger 2 arguably the best MBT on earth.

There are larger Navies but the RN is well trained and fairly well equipped, The Army is under strength and they fairly good equipment but there is room for further improvement. The Air force, well that totally under equipped in departments and is short on all sorts of aircraft

I don't know if their navy is the 2nd largest in the world or not but I would agree if you said it was the 2nd best in the world. I believe that Britain is one of those countries where they have a relatively small navy, but it's so freakin powerful that it can do the job of a much larger navy with the same style of finesse if not better. In other words, quality over quantity. Then again, Britain has always had to maintain a formidable navy because they're surrounded by water, and they have done so since the 1600s.

As for their air force, I think it leaves much to be improved upon which is why I think they invested so heavily in the X-35/JSF project ($2 billion I believe....). I tend to hold their military in high regard. If I had to choose five militaries to come with me on my world domination quest , I'd choose the US, Britain, Japan, Israel, and Australia.

In terms of numbers (man-power) i think its


Army 106,000
RAF 75,000
RN 50,000

As for Equiment the UK's is good not great, its best strengths are it training and NCO's

Well, UK is under the Five Power Defence Arrangement. My country is also part of it.
