ABSTRACT:
An overhead foxhole cover takes the form of a shallow arch. The shallow a is fabricated from a light weight material and is provided with corrugations running parallel to the plane in which the arch is formed in the cover. The arch is preferably formed in 12 gauge aluminum and is capable of withstanding the blast from an 82 mm mortar. The arch is used by first digging a two-soldier fighting position; placing retaining walls, if needed; placing the cover over the center of the fighting position; placing the bags over the cover to retail a soil cover; and placing 18 inches of soil cover over the sandbagging shallow arch.
