Military Production Facilities

Definition

These are places where weapons, ammunition, vehicles, and other military equipment are produced. During times of conflict or war, these facilities ramp up production to meet increased demand.

Analogy

Imagine a toy factory before Christmas. There's a high demand for toys so they're producing at maximum capacity - day and night. That's what happens in military production facilities during wartime; they're working overtime to produce everything needed for warfare.
