I would have these options be generated dynamically however, and with some variance, depending on who is the theorist in the Military Staff working on this doctrine. Each option would be a set of modifiers, just as the current Doctrine technologies are sets of modifiers. The player wouldn't research military doctrines from the Research interface, but instead these theorists would occasionally come up with ideas from which the player would be able to pick from a list of options. I would have the possible assignees to this military staff serve a simliar role to the Research Teams in HOI1/2/DH.
In your political tab you already have something called Military Staff. It would have been much more simulationist and without mana-like abstract resources. Here is how I would have designed military doctrines research and division templates cost. And you really only need this capacity employed for the first 3-4 years of game time, after that you usually will be able to draw Army XP from combat, and those Military Factories become available again. It's not difficult to calculate how many military factories you need producing Infantry Equipment per point of Army XP per day. Essentially you are buying division templates by building military factories. Something that also bugs me as too obviously gamey is the Military Factories - Equipment production - Army/Air experience dependency. But this was only good if you had a gearing bonus which was dependent on your policy (sliders), and each such long-producing line would cost something like 4.3 IC if I remember right, which is less negligible than a few HOI4 factories at least in my current measure. In DH you could indeed set up a production line for, say, AT attachments, put it at x99 and just gradually upgrade infantry divisions as you decide. Of course it wouldn't be as effective, but it will save you for the moment. What I mean was, for one thing, that support equipment is not broken down by type of support company, and for another - that even if you end up in the red, it's very easy to shift factories from any other resource where your stockpile can handle a temporary halt of production. It's true that you can underproduce, though it hasn't happened to me so far.
