its a common enough practice in guerrilla warfare thats proven to work.
Yeah, that would be one of the things in t2k, I think we tend forget about.

Especially for NATO side why troops were so unwilling to move. In many cases they have Companies and Platoon so well established mixed into local population Militia that if they tried to move, many of the communities would be left defenseless for all practical purposes. In the Raiding and counter-raiding era of the fighting. Many Commanders would have this as consideration when they were order to move their new locations too.

In many cases by the Spring 2000 the troops and the locals have become a common community. Regardless the side you are on.

Yeah anything larger say a Platoon would have lot of 'dependents and camp followers' who they would feel responsible for.
