Circa 2000 the dividing line between marauders and military units is probably defined, at least in part, by how predatory they are, not whether they are or are not predatory. Depending on the command environment and such, I'd think that some units loyal to higher headquarters are just as bad when they roll into town as marauders -- worse, probably, since most marauder bands aren't as big and well armed as military units.
There's probably a pretty good suspense/conspiracy/action sort of gaming scenario in there with something like some mostly independent brigade or division commander on the NATO side running his own marauder outfit on the side and knocking off the occasional supply convoy for other NATO units, trader convoys, robbing refugees, etc.
