>What is OZ's goal in encouraging the colonies to militarize themselves?
You mean when the colonies start installing all those beam cannons? It's either anti-Gundam defenses and/or those colonies might have been former Alliance strongholds. The Gundam pilots stole HLV shuttles and went back into space. The civilian leaders on the colonies might think that the Gundams could attack them as revenge for taking the side of OZ, and it'd probably be easy enough for OZ to convince the colonies that way during their talks. Since Romefeller is funding OZ, they can afford to install those defensive beam cannons for lots of colonies.
In episode 17 there's a scene with a bunch of colony politicians debating whether to accept OZ's offer of support, the old guy is saying "don't trust OZ, remember all the awful shit they did?" while the younger guys are saying "that's all in the past" and "those are just rumors with no evidence". In the end, that particular group of colonies end up declaring in a worldwide broadcast that that they consider the Gundams to be their enemies now because they have decided to ally with OZ.
If you're wondering if it becomes a problem to arm the colonies, it's not a big deal to OZ because those small turrets are for short range defense only. If OZ wants to threaten or blow up any belligerent colonies that they can't win over at the negotiation table, they can just use the giant cannon on their Barge fortress, and not long after OZ\Romefeller moves into space, they started building Libra which was planned to be able to do the same thing.
