[[Jeff Cooper]] popularized the concept of hardening retreats against [[small arms]] fire.  In an article titled "Notes on Tactical Residential Architecture" in Issue #30 of P.S. Letter (April, 1982), Cooper suggested using the "[[Vauban]] Principle", wherein, projecting bastion corners would prevent miscreants from being able to approach a retreat's exterior walls in any blind spots. Retreat building corners with this  simplified implementation of a Vauban Star are now called "Cooper Corners" by [[James Wesley Rawles]], in honor of Jeff Cooper.

In both his book ''Rawles on Retreats and Relocation'' and in his survivalist novel, ''Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse'', Rawles describes in great detail retreat groups "upgrading" brick or other masonry houses with steel reinforced window shutters and doors, the excavation of anti-vehicular ditches, warded gate locks, constructing [[concertina wire]] obstacles and [[Fougasse (weapon)|fougasse]]s, and setting up listening post/[[observation post]]s (LP/OPs.)

[[Bruce D. Clayton]] and [[Joel Skousen]] have both written extensively on integrating fallout shelters into retreat homes, but they put less emphasis on ballistic protection and exterior perimeter security than Cooper and Rawles.
