Don't mean to nitpick, but the Austro-Hungarians did have the output of the Skoda works (see the 8 30.5 cm Mörser M.11 howitzers which served with the Germans in 1914). It was will and finances, not capacity that hindered them.

Well, I did mention that the Habsburg Monarchy had a respectable industrial base, and that exiguous peacetime budgets hampered military development and reforms. So we’re on the same page, I think.
As far as uniforms are concerned, the US Army has gone back to pinks and greens: a refined version of the iconic WW II service uniform. As for the US Space Force, well, they look like they belong on the Imperial Death Star…
