No, kato13 had the right idea. Let's take it from the ground up:
Team (4,479): Between 6 and 12 personnel each, with the vast majority at 8 or 9.
Group (216): 15 Teams totaling 122 personnel, with another 9 in a "command team" for 131 total.
Area (43): 5 Groups totaling 131x5=655 personnel, another 161 personnel in the 20 teams attached directly to the Area Command, 40 personnel running the 5 small bases, and 20 more in the command team for 876 total.
Region (7): 6 Areas totaling 876x6=5,256 personnel, another 433 personnel in the administrative subcommands, 147 personnel running the 7 medium bases, and 42 more in the command team for 5,878 total.
National (1): 7 Regions totaling 5,878x7=41,146 personnel, 1 Area with 876 personnel, 1 Group with 131 personnel, another 883 personnel in the administrative subcommands, 42* in Phoenix Team, 1,098 personnel running the 27 large bases, and 220 more in the command team for 44,396 total.

How do you tracelessly disappear 50k? Or 10k? Millions of people die each year and thousands more go missing never to be found. I would suspect that TMP would have a not-small office devoted to making sure that all recruits "died" in the manner that required the least amount of effort to conceal. Even if the Project
was 150k strong, spread over 30 years that only adds up to 5k per year on average. Boating accidents in deep water, plane crashes, deaths overseas, situations where the body was "cremated" before any return to family, situations where someone else's corpse is substituted for the Project member... ultimately there should be lots of ways to do it and, like so many questionable issues, this
must have happened for the Project to exist. So even 150k doesn't worry me, I just don't want a Project that large.
*: Can't remember if this is the canonical number or not, I just used it for convenience.
