apparatus

Explanation:
aparelhamento militar

The term "military apparatus" refers to a policy of appointing officers of the Brazilian Armed Forces during the government of João Goulart (1961-1964)… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_apparatus_during_the_...

The term is also applicable to the current administration of Jair Bolsonaro: This article is dated March 2019, meaning that the current number of military personnel in the government apparatus is much higher:

Aparelhamento militar de Bolsonaro já ocupa mais de 100 cargos comissionados no 2º e 3º escalões
Levantamento feito pelo jornal O Estao de S.Paulo contabiliza pelo menos 103 militares na lista dos cargos comissionados de ministérios, bancos federais, autarquias, institutos e estatais, entre elas a Petrobrás
https://revistaforum.com.br/politica/2019/3/3/aparelhamento-...

In this context:
- removal of skilled personnel and (especially the military) apparatus

The ways that armies are raised and funded, the reasons troops serve, the conditions military personnel and civilians endure during wartime, and the ways that nations conceive their military apparatus all have direct bearing on future policy decisions. https://mais.gmu.edu/programs/la-mais-isin-wms

illicit/unethical hiring of allied parties

Explanation:
Creio que "aparelhamento" nesse contexto não tem nada a ver com equipamentos ou armas, mas sim com a contratação de pessoas aliadas que possam contribuir com as ações do contratante.
