Sep 2, 2021 at 1:11 comment added KEY_ABRADE @GrumpyYoungMan They can't kill anyone who seems like an insurgent; to them, that's all of the peasantry. Therefore, the next best option is to go into the mountains, beat up on a bunch of poorly-fed freedom fighters who are armed with small arms and man-portable artillery, publicize it, and go home for the next year or two.

Sep 2, 2021 at 1:09 comment added GrumpyYoungMan You say it's a counter insurgency operation (which is a long term occupation dedicated to pacifying an area) but it doesn't sound like one; see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterinsurgency#Tactics . If it's just a "drain the sea" (a.k.a. kill anybody who seems as if they might be an insurgent and level their homes), then it's just an ordinary assault and ordinary unit compositions are fine.
