I started something about Water pumps (RAM PUMP) tread. I wanted here to open a tread on what SF guys have done or think would help out during a UW or village-level community missions or projects. Things that would make a Fire Base less reliant on KAF abd BAF for everything and more self-sufficient. Yes I know we would need about 2 or 3 Classes out of the supply system. But need everything. UW you need to be almost fully self-sufficient and resilient. Just keep in mind OPSEC too, keep it general.
Here are some links that SFODAs should find generally useful - they have the important advantage of being FREE. I say download them and save the file or PDF now. Because most get changed by the ORG or Universtity yearly.
These are more general agricultural/rural plans some useful - like diy concrete water tanks, but some not so useful, like nuclear fallout shelters. All the plans are .pdf's. Just look to the left side, but this site delets a lot to make space for the University so save if you like what you found.

This site is GREAT for plans. Now for every area that SF can deploy to you will work off what the locals do for their livestock and farm techniques. But you have plans here on this site that you can use on deployments; even around your house.

Books like this one can be found in your local Libary or B&N. I say go to your local Libary and check out what the have and bring it home to the team room copy what you need and once again put it into your 18C Booklet.
