Claim:
A method of transporting cargo, the method comprising steps of: (a) joining a plurality of discrete units to form a modular structure that defines an enclosed space and is separate from a transport, each of the discrete units including a frame portion that supports the modular structure and an armored panel secured to the frame portion, wherein at least one edge of the modular structure formed by the plurality of discrete units is curved and wherein the armor is a polymer reinforced with para-aramid fibers; (b) loading the modular structure onto the transport and relocating the modular structure to a different location; and (c) modifying the modular structure to provide shelter or a tactical position at the different location by (i) joining the modular structure with another modular structure to form a combined enclosed space that is larger than the enclosed space, or (ii) separating the units from the modular structure.
