In addition to building all USA vehicles, the War Factory can repair vehicles, too. Damaged vehicles can enter the repair bay one-by-one for repairs. It can also create the TOW Missile upgrade. - Generals manual(src)

War factories were structures assembled on the battlefield by the United States and used to manufacture all ground combat vehicles in the USA's arsenal.

Game structure

American war factories are large structures used to rapidly build and deploy vehicles, deploying them directly onto the battlefield. They may also repair damaged vehicles, and can do so while manufacturing a new unit. Units must be manufactured one at a time, but they can be ordered in advance and will be produced in the order that they were purchased. Likewise, units ordered to repair will queue outside of the repair pad and wait for service. However, the War Factory cannot repair the aerial drones that are added to manned vehicles. Certain vehicle upgrades can also be purchased here. The American faction must have a Supply Center already built before constructing a War Factory.
