You can also read into the development of British light infantry after 1763, through 1815. The most famous, of course, would be Riflemen made famous by Bernard Cornwell's "Sharpe's" novels, made into movies with Sean Bean.
I'd still like to find a good book on Sir John Moore's creating his Light Brigade (Division?) before 1809.
But, yeah, 2000 in a lot of places is going to look like what George Washington called "a war of posts." Light infantry (horse) patrols made up of PCs, wandering between towns and firebases.
