[Military] Subsidy schemes?

What kind of militrary subsidy schemes (á la War Office Truck Subsidy ) are running in WW?

I tried a truck subsidy on desirable (from the Army´s POV) trucks but has anyone else (be it trucks,cars, shpis etc)?

The Chilean Merchant Marine is similar, although there's not a direct subsidy per se. While many Chilean merchant ships are owned by the shipping lines, a large majority are built on government contract for the Directemar, which leases the ships to the shipping lines for competitive rates. The ships purchased by Directemar are built by ASMAR to standards written up by the Armada de Chile - those standards providing ships intended for acquisition by the Navy during times of national crisis.

Both the Chilean and Bulgarian governments operates a scheme whereby qualifying aircraft, boats, or vehicles are not subject to property tax, but may be requisitioned (with compensation) during wartime.

Germany probably has one for motor trucks; is is a detail I have not yet worked out.

Probably modeled on the scheme in place before the Great War.

All Latvian owned, civilian aircraft in Latvia can be requistioned for use by the military in times of war, for the duration thereoff. Note the word can, meaning that some planes preforming vital services will most likely not be requistioned.
