Chinese term or phrase: 布局
{国防工业布局}是指国防经济领域的生产力在空间上的分布和组合。国防工业布局最重要的组成部分是国防工业布局,它是指国防工业领域的生产力,即劳动者、劳动手段、劳动对象在 一定的空间上的分布和组合

I have "overall arrangement", "layout", "patterns", and "distribution" but I used it for "分布". Is there any one term that fits better? Thanks.

Structure/geographical structure
Explanation:
Structure because it's not just geographical.

But if you want to emphasise the geographical, then geographical structure is OK.

Geographical organisation would be OK, too.

也可考虑用 deployment 一词。

“configuration” 是较倾向于从内部去配置各个项目。

另一个较可能的用法是用 “deployment"--deployment of the industry of national defense
“deployment"较倾向于向外去铺展开来。

若不需用专属名词的话,还可用”mapping out” of the national defense industry“

另外,还可以考虑“layout"一词。
