Fighting a war is fairly costly. There are instances where a military is politically defeated because a conflict was too expensive to afford, while pound for pound they were the superior force to be reckoned with.
You folks are faced with a problem as backyard brewed guerilla ragtags. And that is if World War III were to be fought in the North American theater, you aren’t going to fit a year’s worth of logistics in your rucksack. What needs to be created is an elaborate system of base camps and supply dumps that you could access, to assure you and your buddies can be sustained and combat effective. Maybe I’m not as hardcore as some folks, but I can’t live off of tree bark in the middle of the woods. And so we must take heart to the old adage: Plan ahead; it wasn’t raining while Noah built the ark.

Re: Small Unit Logistics
Smaller self sufficient insurgent cells are more effective.
Less dependent (if at all) on outside supply, less costly in personnel and material if compromised, and more mobile and anonymous.
A 3 to 5 man cell working independent with little outside direction can create the same mayhem that a squad can, and still be home for dinner if they plan well.
Choose your targets for maximum disruption with minimal material, have a solid exfil plan, and understand every mission may be your last.
A running man can slit 1000 throats in a night.
It may be a Klingon proverb from Star Trek, but it’s not wrong.

Re: Small Unit Logistics
Anti-government, Marxist, Far-Left, pro-authoritarian extremist insurgency has just sent out CTA to their irregulars in-theatre to prep. Intel says 3rd but likely 4th for siege against their pre-designated Federal targets, HVTs, ancillary/logistics and complementary personnel or support/pro-Federal individuals with platform. Whiskey Hotel had erected emergency permanent non-scalable fencing. It's elephant in the room about embedded or sympathetic antagonists in Federal institutions that will aide in a coup. It's credible and actionable intel and most is currently making waves and its rounds through mainstream outlets. ...It's getting crazy that people are falling to identitarian indoctrination and this cold civil war is expected by everyone especially in allied nations to go hot regardless of who presides over the nation. I wrote a blue paper about this and events leading up and co-penned a white paper with analysis and I find this very troubling.

Re: Small Unit Logistics
I think the landscape and federal response changes as of whatever passes for an election conclusion now a day.
Trumps inclination through all the rioting was to condemn but stay fairly hands free because of the real potential of bad optics and a substantial ding to reelection.
Win or lose ... When the votes are finally tallied sometime in January he has no reason to hold back. I think you will see a firmer federal response to the agitators.
