Second would probably be Hunters (1d6, Novice, Civilian), which might have horses that the party could use. Most other groups would (in my opinion) be either too large or too well-armed for a first encounter if the PCs are insistent on combat.

The other option would be an animal encounter per pages 162-163, which could give them a chance to get some food (30% of the animal's body weight per the Hunting section on page 149).
If you do have encounters with other military forces early on you can make them with either a very small group or one that is badly armed and thus not able to stand up in any kind of firefight with the group - i.e. possibly whats left of of a squad that got separated and is by itself or where you can have the players ambush them and thus gain a sufficient advantage to give the ratio that would be advantageous to them in combat
