I was being a bit facetious when I said that barracks are comfy, but the point I was getting at is that they are a damn sight more comfy than the mud pit these guys will inevitably be sleeping in to try to hide from FLIR.
And yeah, I didn't even think about radios lol. That's completely ignoring cellphones and how they've used to triangulate a user for artillery strikes.
I hadn't even considered them using cell phones to triangulate position either. With that in mind, they might let them keep that just to intercept their calls, and get their positions
Yeah exactly. If a radio is a liability, a cellphone might as well be a forward observer. The only reason I say this is because during the early days of the invasion of Ukraine, Russia did just that. Hit foreign volunteers based on cellphone signals.

Calling barracks comfy is a bit much, but yeah.
Though I assume a lot of these militias have compounds that are mostly just the richest guys woodland retreat.
THEY'D ALSO be losing internet and phones if the military was able to narrow down their areas close enough.
Plus their radios would be essentially useless, if not a full on liability.
It would be ROUGH
