Standardization is definately a huge issue, but energy independence for field operations is also critical - modern military equipment burns through power, and having reliable portable power solutions can be a game-changer (I've been comparing options on gearscouts.com and the LFP battery ones offer the best $/Wh for emergency deployment scenarios).

So is infrastructure. I mean, the Bundeswehr is supposed to go to the Eastern flank of the EU by using Deutsche Bahn? Also, ex-WP countries like Poland need to strengthen bridges and stuff since Western tanks are twice as big and heavy as T-72s, and the infrastructure was made to support an Eastern military, not a Western one.
