MILITARY SKILL: MILITARY FORTIFICATION
The knowledge in the design and building of basic defensive structures
suitable for modern Mega-Damage combat. If provided with the right
materials and time,the character can build defensive walls,bunkers, and
tank traps, as well as understand the value of natural terrain that
includes obstacles to impede movement and protective structures to
shield friendly forces from enemy fire. The character is trained to
prepare barbed wire, tank obstacles, tangle foot wire, booby traps,
trenches, tank ditches, foxholes/shell scrapes, reinforced concrete or
earthen walls, bunker complexes, rail gun/mortar emplacements, tunnel
systems, and similar defensive constructions. Even with the advent of
Mega-Damage warfare, these old classic fortifications have useful
applications. Obstacles like ditches and minefields slow the advance of
robots, infantry and tanks, exposing them for longer periods to
defender firepower. Earthen walls and foxholes, made from S.D.C.
materials, still afford soldiers some protection and can disperse
energy blasts or deflect shrapnel from explosives. If these protective
structures are built with Mega-Damage concrete and alloys they provide
defenders with as much protection as any robot vehicle or tank.
