Would they need to have a civilian shantytown nearby? I wonder if they couldn't just move into an existing town/village and fortify that. The civilians there would be moved out (peaceably, I should hope) or allowed to live inside.
Using an existing town means the unit dosen't have to create infrastructure from scratch (water, power, etc.), and can concentrate on using buildings that already exist for quarters. And, ruins can be salvaged for repairs. What's left of the road & bridge network can be used, too.
Worst case, towns are already usually located where the water is-- streams, etc. No need to go get it.
I wonder if towns that were once castles and border forts would get preference? Those would already be in dominating terrain.
