Baluchistan is well suited to guerilla ops.
What's the area like? Similar to Hindu Kush? I don't know anything about this region.

Much flatter, desert plateau. Think badlands.

There are mountainous portions, mind, but most of it is high desert plateau.

Here is a pic -
Some archaeologist on a dig in Baluchistan Pretty forbidding country, a lot of it. There are successive ranges between the coast and the northern mountains, like southern Arizona or southwestern New Mexico, say. There are wide sand deserts. There are high mountains in the north at the tri-border area where Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan meet. There are small fishing settlements along the coast, and villages dotting the interior wherever the land is fertile enough to support livestock.

(I don't worry about the war turning into "Vietnam" in Iraq; I worry about it doing so in Congress.)

Baluchistan is a province in Pakistan. It borders Iran....the Baluchis are Sunni muslims of the Wahabbi kind.
