While they were surrounded by small Brigade HQ Forward Operating Bases with the Brigade Forward Support units operating out of. Then there would Battalion and Company size Forward Operating Bases/FireBases and then beyond those various road blocks and platoon patrol bases.
Just wondering if this is along the lines or would it be something else?

As far as that goes, if you look at a satellite view of say western Poland or eastern Germany (hey, sidetrack: Germany is essentially united in T2k, correct? The Pact was entirely driven out, right?) there's an insane number of villages here and there - you practically cannot drive down a medium sized highway without passing through a village every kilometer on highway 25 coming out of Kalisz.
Taking that into consideration, I would guess that a cantonment would find a place like that that was either unoccupied or occupied by NATO-friendly civilians and set up shop there, then place OPs, mortar firebases and company-level FOBs in outlying farmhouses, barns, etc. nearby.
