Keep in mind that any such exterior structures can be used as cover by an enemy.. plan accordingly

As with any form of construction, good building practices must be used to get good results. Nothing stops bullets, resists blasts, survives storms, or maintains temperature better than steel reinforced concrete. The so-called issues with concrete are non-existent with proper construction technique. An ICF house can be built for a 10% premium over stick frame construction, and you get an 8" wall of concrete between 2 layers of insulation.

Saw a cool way to build a house. Styafoam blocks. Look like giant lego blocks, fill hollow blocks with concreret, cover with stucko. R factor really high. Bullet resetant, bomb prof,? how big of a bomb?

I wouldn't use prestress or post-tension for blast resistance. Prestress and post-tension are great for bridge beams and clear span buildings, but they fail catastrophically when they fail.
Heavy rebar reinforced concrete with an elastomeric coating (line-x?) to hold the pieces together. But all this is academic. Nobody is actually going to do this.
