It is likely that many (if not most) of the concrete bunkers built by
Iraq in Kuwait are made of prefabricated, prestressed concrete modules -
panels, beams, supports, columns, floors, etc.  These go in quickly (dig hole,
insert modules, fill hole).  They are, however, not a strong as poured
structures, but consider the difficulties of making poured concrete
bunkers.  The level of skill needed is far less for prefab; you can 
use almost any heavy truck to transport; can be stockpiled in advance.

Sort of like military legos.
