As traditional methods of supplying frontline forces failed, as shown by Great World War II, militaries worldwide shifted from fielding massive armies to highly mobile strike forces capable of establishing self sufficient military bases. The weapons factory was part of the revolution in warfare.
Since the new strike forces were frequently undermanned and underequipped to face well entrenched enemy forces usually operating from permanent bases, the weapons factory was designed to manufacture combat vehicles on the frontline, utilizing resources gathered on location.
The design evolved, slowly, but steadily shifting towards full automation of its functions. The first fully automated factories were introduced in the last years of the twentieth century by the Global Defense Initiative, utilizing Master Control Terminal technology allowing for a drastic reduction of required crew sizes. They were fully capable of building combat vehicles fast, adhering to the highest quality requirements.
The designs continued to be upgraded and revised, and by 2030 both Nod and GDI utilized weapons factories. During the Second Tiberium War, war factories were equipped with top of the line nano assemblers and other construction tools, able to construct and deploy almost any combat vehicle in under a minute, in no small part thanks to the versatility of Tiberium as a resource.
During the Third Tiberium War, War Factories were equipped with repair drones, automated flying robots capable of repairing any damaged vehicles in the vicinity of the factory, as long as they are still functioning.

As of the Final War, both GDI and Nod have integrated their War Factories into their Crawlers.
