There are several published books specifically on building COPs and small FOBs. They fully diagram and layout designs using Hescos (how many Hesco blocks does it take to stop an Opel full of fertilizer?). And yes, no one reads them.

CMF 19 doesn't teach crap on fortification, but we're the mounted guys, so it would figure.
