The purpose of combat barriers is to protect soldiers and Marines that are located in bases, dug-in fortifications, and other facilities, from the enemy. While they are almost impenetrable to plasma and projectile weapons, they do not protect well against the concussive force of an explosion such as a rocket or grenade impact, but do well to absorb shrapnel and flying debris.
