Perhaps “Army” is the wrong word here. I'm thinking hornets nest. A really big one. One that will stay stirred up for several generations, of the mostly German and Scots and Irish “born fightin’” types. Descendants of the boys that got kicked out of every decent European country, and came down out of the Appalachians, Allegheny, and Blue Ridge, and spread across a continent looking for another good fight. Drones have to land and refuel, and personnel have to leave their MRAPs, and come out from behind ballistic armor sooner or later. Hornets will be patiently waiting. Hundreds of thousands. Every one a marksman. At all points of the compass. For years to come.

It wouldn't be a mass of armed men going up against tanks, certainly not for long. You would end up with small numbers acting independently. Moving around under the radar committing acts of sabotage and small raids. As the strong enemy squeezes the balloon, it just swells up somewhere else.
