Smaller companies are left with the business of supplying components, not complete vehicles.

Beyond the word "might" do you see problems here? The Army doesn't own the designs which mean likely patent infringement problems for the alternative source. And Gattigap- do you have any contact with the real world? Have you ever seen how long it takes to get an assembly line running, let alone setting up a whole new factory?
