Once again, your rifle isn't going to be doing a darn against these, and because of that, probably won't do a thing against the individual fire teams either.
Your argument for a "bunch of hill billies" was invalidated during the 1980s. The Afghan Mujahideen, who knew their territory, lived in the area, were expert marksmen in their own right, and had access to tons of weapons, were being utterly destroyed by the Soviet Invasion. Even armed with machine guns, the Mujahideen couldn't take down the Soviet Hinds without extensive help from the Americans, who supplied missile launchers to the resistance.
There are very few, if any, modern examples of a small-but-armed militia winning against a professional military for a reason.

And what does a fire team have to do before calling in all that expensive hardware?
They have to make contact with the opposing force correct?
Well what is to say they would live long enough to make the call after making contact?
