Most nations lack the ability to run and maintain a huge army or a large reserve of manpower to fight wars. Manpower is precious for most. All lack the capability to properly mechanized their units or give them armored combat vehicles as well. The old strategy of sending waves of men upon men is over. The reality is that every life in your Army is priceless in a world that has been practically Thanos snapped.
Therefore take this into consideration with military research and development: metal armor.
In World War 1 the Germans developed a chest plate called the Sappenpanzer, or something along those lines, which was given to men placed on Sentry Duty and those manning a machine guns nest. They proved to be resistant to most pistol caliber rounds, and even rifle rounds at long distances (and I mean incredibly long, I believe 300 yards? Could be meters, to be fair I have to look over my source again.) But these weren't just useful for protecting bullets. They proved to be quite the repellant of metal fragments from say a ricochet, a grenade, a mine, so forth.
This armor did not make their soldiers Iron Man, but rather increased survivability. That counts more than ever now and days. You'll obviously not be making Power Armor, or Mjolnir SPARTAN Armor, but it is likely you could gain interest in using metal plates in your infantry:s kits. Medium armor would typically be the metal breastplate mentioned prior, light ones being a metal chained together covering the chest to help against fragment and ricochet, or even melee combat, and the heaviest probably consisting of chin, maybe thigh guards, and shoulder plates.
These armor, like I've said, will not win gun fights. Not most of the time at least. They will however reduce casualties, which like I've said, matters.
As I've said, do not take this post as gospel. Armor has many shortcomings. The heavier it is, the more back issues a soldier will have, and overall fatigue of your Army will increase, meaning lengthy maneuvers will take a long time. Time is just as precious as your manpower. Consider the benefits and the odds, and make your move from there. Do not issue armor to your entire army, or make some form of bullshit armor that's able to repel everything. It'll either be voided or just simply punished.
Take care everyone, sorry for my lack of activity every day.
Well, armour in combat during the age we're in were mostly used situationally. In the specific example you've given, the steel bib was only used for stationary men, who had defensive obligations. Armour like what was represented in the picture TA-SC posted is obviously a double-edged sword. It's klunky, it's loud, it's impractical for mobility, and yes, it's heavy. The chances it'll even stop a bullet of any caliber within close quarters battle range, where it will be the most needed? Nil. It's primarily designed to stop shrapnel. Steel armour is great and all until your soldiers have to ambush an enemy patrol or crawl through a tight gap in a building.
I have a different philosophy. If I had a limited amount of metals to work with, and if I were y'all, they'd be dedicated to armaments. Rifles, bullets, assault guns. Manpower is important, but manpower is only as effective as it's kit, and can be much more efficenitly conserved with good tactics and a capable general (yourself).
I'd say keep the metal for helmets, maybe some plates for your machine-gun operators, and put the rest in the refinery. But whatever works for your strategy.

You sure you did the population right? You have to remove half of it due to the plague. Claim noted.
