That's exactly what gave me the idea :P Although the army (well actually that's the Marine Corps) uses several hundred containers and have built a complete city.
(That is the village)
THIS is the city.

And the cost was above 17M$... that's a different scale, lol.
All in seriousness, adding like 5 containers or something like that on an existing field to make a FOB would be realistic. A village? No, unless someone has nothing better to do with 100 000$.
