The manufacturing sector, which was also taken over by the state, has fared no better. Mainly because of a lack of foreign exchange to buy raw materials and spare parts, many factories are now operating at less than 20% of capacity.

The Army plans to provide at least four sets to each of the more than 778,000 regular soldiers, both men and women, and to 670,000 National Guardsmen. The uniform will also be used by the other services. Nonetheless, alterations are planned. A new line will do away with the reinforced...
