Abstract
A modular protective system (MPS) Expedient Guard Tower and Fighting Position meeting multiple criteria for deployment and re-deployment in austere combat environments is disclosed as well as methods of assembly. The MPS Expedient Guard Tower and Fighting Position is lightweight such that it can be easily deployed by helicopter, requires no tools or equipment to assemble, and can be assembled very quickly by a team of four to six soldiers. The Modular Protective System (MPS) Expedient Guard Tower and Fighting Position can be easily recovered, i.e., disassembled and redeployed to a different location and as the title of the invention suggests, it is capable of being constructed in a non-elevated position or an elevated position. Accordingly, it may be used either as a guard tower, a fighting position, or an inspection station, etc., depending upon the particular need.
