All weapons must be made by and within the military with absolutely no outsourcing to any other company. Not only is it a funnel for money to private businesses, it's also a place where security can be leaked. I don't want private businesses to build sensitive weaponry and then decide to shop around the world for other countries to buy the same device.

Only items that need not be internally manufactured would be common items like general tools and general materiel, like wood for building barracks. Otherwise, all other items, including uniform and food should be created and grown in house.
