Honestly to say, that option FD helping RC isn't very realistic relatively to rel life, as any resistance movement \partisans only cares about their movement's survivability, not about peasants around, and demand from them under threat of torture and death.
But... in game perspective it doesn't matter possibly.
Not at all true the FARC,IRA,EOKA and Modern ELN along other movements base their tactics upon the support and aid in which these communities provide,especially in small and rural communities but not limited to such
As a example the IRA (A movement which excelled at urban guerilla warfare and winning the propaganda war) during our War for Independence lived and died from the support they possessed from rural communities which aided their asymmetrical warfare by hiding arms,feeding fighters,masking members and spreading the misdeads of the Brits being the Brits (spreading propaganda) like rail crossing back when my country was a shithole. A tradition which unfortunately was upheld by many communities during the Provo IRAs campaign despite their immoral actions.
Other movements sometimes even provide aid to these areas to garner the support of groups disenfranchised by the governing power (eg. ELN atm provides cash/medicine for communities and aids in construction efforts in exchange for hiding spots from the Columbian government and potential fighters

That isn't to say Insurgent movements which commit such actions don't exist but their tactics tends to have much less local support and usually ends up controlling its occupied territory through tyranny,but that tends to get you hated by everyone like ISIL or the United National Liberation Front in india. However Free drones don't strike me as the type to do this considering that they have cells trading in the junkyard which weren't discovered by the protectorate (so probably a few locals with loyalty to the anarchy) and quite a lot of sympathizers across the southern rail that would label the institute of Tschort as terrorist before them.
P.S: Sorry for necroing the topic but felt like going full Bio warfare pirate anarchist for expedition but the rail crossing actions made me feel like a heartless bastard that doesn't care at all for the settlements I claim to be protecting from the war crimes squad.....Which ironically does care slightly for it's expansion of territory,power and influence ......oh well but on a side note hope to see some more fasci....I mean protectorate and free drones love soon after expeditions final polish is done
