In an effort to curb foreign arms imports the Ministry of War in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance has authorized the increase of subsidies to the Arms Manufacturing Industry. The Ministry of War also mandates the issuing of the M 2023 Assault Rifle replacing the G36 from active service. The Iberian Government also allocates funds for the creation of 200 more modern arms factories that should provide over 13,000 jobs throughout Iberia. Foreign Made Weapons will slowly be phased out and replaced by local variants. The Target Date for the Modernization of the Equipment of the Armed Forces is 2025.
