Insurgents are relieved from the need to hold territory, because their fundamental strategy is to make it so costly to the power ostensibly holding the territory that it withdraw. But they are not absolved from all military basics, for example, the establishment of reliable logistical support, the need to avoid intelligence penetration, and the ability to maintain some command and control capabilities. This means that they cannot merely "blend in" with the surrounding population, they must also have their supply routes, their armories, their "safe neighborhoods", their communications networks, and so forth. Thus, they develop assets that are discoverable and attackable. The romantic notion of "blending in" is wrong: there is a whole infrastructure that is vulnerable to intelligence penetration and interdiction.
