I have always thought that a effiecient DoD/MoD would be in contact wth MU leaders making sure all citizens who were wanting to fight in American sponsored battles were supplied to be able to do so.
Why MU leaders you ask? Well let us take a closer look...
I will start by saying this is in no way, shape, or form to say the current administration is doing an over-all poor job. Selling a ORG MU to former MoF who just happened to change citizenship is not only shady as hell but flat wrong. But to say an over-all poor job, naw far from it. This is simply an opinion developed from observing the current system from the perspective of both a citizen's and a Congress member's eyes. It's literally my two cents...
From my understanding, the current set-up for a citizen to obtain supplies from ORG/DoD or whoever is providing the ORG supplies is to either go to IRC or message the correct cabinet member, or fill out an off-site request form. Being a time sensitive type game, citizens sitting in que too long for supplies can be the difference of giving an invader the boot or getting booted. I will point out a few cons of the current system. I will also suggest a idea or two that could make it all more efficient.
Problems that arises from the current set-up:
1. Players logging & playing at different times of day. (only way to fix this with current set-up is to have someone in IRC 24/7 to pass out supplies.)
2. IRC is inactive. I'm in IRC every night, and it is inactive. Due keep in mind IRC being inactive is a two-way street. Not active with administration nor citizens. (again 24/7 monitored IRC)
3. Accountability - making sure supplies are being used for battle & for the correct side (citizens is a lot of people to check up on for one person.)
4. Waiting large amount of time for request form to be honored.
My suggestion is for DoD/MoD get in contact with the MU leaders to coordinate supplies. The problems mentioned can easily be solved.
Coordinating with MU leaders:
1. Communication with a handful of MU leaders is a lot easier than finding someone to sit in irc 24 hrs a day.
2. Having someone monitor IRC 24/7 won't be required. MU leaders have direct contact with their members.
3. MU leaders know who fights & how often in their MU. If a problem does arise from someone misusing supplies, it can be nipped at the bud per say.
How could this be pulled off?
An article from DoD/MoD/ORG stating supplies will be given to MU leaders, and MU leaders will distributed them to their members. Supplies are only supplied for America sponsored battles only. Supplies are not supplied to help players fulfill their dailies.
DoD/MoD/ORG will distribute supplies to all MU leaders at day change on every day America has a legal battle. Along with that, a daily shout at day change after supplies are distributed to inform citizens supplies have been supplies to MU leaders and to expect them.
MU members will not be too shy to speak up if they are not receiving their supplies. This will act as "check and balances" to help maintain accountability.
A bonus to having supplies distributed this way is that it will help all American MU get filled with members. An added bonus from a novice MU is better than no added MU bonus at all. Looking at the bigger picture and as a whole, ever added bonus every American citizen can get and use in his/her advantage in battles helps America as a whole. It truly is a "united we stand" and "strength in numbers" type situation.
And those not in MU or not really interested in joining one will say what about us? Simply put, you will have to rely on the above 3 current methods being used to obtain supplies. Or join a MU
^ over-all a "common sense" approach to solve the problem coupled with the KISS theory...

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
