Yeah, we all know this. Thing is though, that we need to get the basics first, getting them to hold their ground and at least get their shot groupings into an area approximately that of a small barn is first step. It would put our soldiery a step ahead of the standard GLA rabble relatively quickly.
Once we have breathing room, then we can see about upgrading to a first world standard.

Rakshasa reports that the Radar Dome has been repaired and is fully functional. However, the lack of power here means it will not be in operation any time soon.

As for the Construction Yard, repairs were slower than anticipated. The Americans had left in a hurry and they took almost everything essential with them. What was left was picked away by scavengers. Still, Rakshasa has high hopes of finishing by next week. The Construction Yard could provide just enough power to operate the Radar Dome and perhaps some of the housing projects or the Desalination Plant.
Rakshasa would like to remind you that funds are beginning to become dangerously low. It would be prudent to look for additional funding wherever possible. There are other projects that remain viable, however...

To your surprise, your father had managed to get over a dozen Dushka Nests and Stinger Sites set up in just this week alone with only half the funds used! The men were drilled hard in the construction and your father had taken to the ground with a shovel in hand himself.

Eyes turn to your aide, Kallen Qatar as she practically bounces to attention. Almost unwillingly, all eyes follow the subtle contours of her jumpsuit follow in line with her ample assets. She's got plenty to report on, apparently. She did an overview of the forces at your disposal and streamlined them into multiple brigades for ease of command.
"As of now, we have enough armed rebels and rocket insurgents to make up two brigades of 3000, with light vehicle support attached. There are just enough light tanks to form an armored brigade, supported with Technicals and Raider Buggies," says Kallen brightly as she scrolls through something on her laptop. "A few anonymous donations were given to us via our swiss bank accounts. You've got some friends in South America, it seems."

An anonymous donation from someone in the Himalayas nets you a substantial half million in resources. Whoever this person is, they have your thanks.
Thanks to the efforts of Rakshasa and his team of workers, the airstrip is cleaned of debris, the driveway repaired, and the hangars reopened for use. Rakshasa also reports that the American Construction Yard has been repaired and that it's internal power plant allowed the Radar Dome to become fully functional.
Just in time too, a day later a Tu-4 Bomber approaches and your MCV's radios cleared it for landing. It is the cargo plane you bought from ol' Crazy Bob a few weeks ago! As it lands, however, you can see that it is damaged and at least two of it's engines were not working. The plane comes to a halt and your people run to secure and inspect it.
The pilot is injured, suffering from shrapnel stuck in his back. He is the only survivor as his copilot was dead. As he was prepared for surgery by your field medics, he claims that the plane was attacked by GLA Quad Cannons several hundred miles north-west of your port city.
That put the GLA dangerously close to the city, meaning they were at least one or two weeks away. If they had quad cannons, then they likely had tanks and other heavy weapons too.
Bad news indeed.
Still, the plane was here and you could make use it as either a bomber or a cargo plane. At the moment, however, it needed repairs. Until that was done, it was grounded for good.

The Tactician made good effort with the troops, forcing them to patrol at all times. This alertness soon bore fruit when a saboteur was caught attempting to sneak past the patrols and the defense line. An enterprising Rebel had his friends drag the unfortunate man off for interrogation with techniques such as 'playing golf with your balls'. This bore even more fruit as the poor man gave up vital intelligence of an upcoming attack.
After imprisoning the saboteur for later interrogations and a good word to the rebel in question (along with a stern word about taking it upon himself to interrogate an enemy) you convene a war council with your advisers.
According to new intelligence, the GLA have sent their 'Armored General', one 'Al'Rahul', who commanded from his personalized Marauder Tank. Al'Rahul is well known within the GLA for having some of the toughest armored units around, basing his entire doctrine around armored vehicles. His tanks were tougher and hit harder, his missile trucks and quad cannons were well armored, and even the light rocket buggies and technicals could take hits better. This General has orders to kill you and all your followers.
The saboteur caught earlier today was from a vanguard unit of armored vehicles loitering in a tunnel network entrance a few kilometers away. In about six days, they were going to attack in force with a few dozen beefed up Scorpion Tanks with rocket pods and Technicals transporting suicide bombers.
The Tactician says the defenses can certainly hold against the numbers given. Especially with the new Bunkers being added to the defenses.

Jarmond Kell led multiple teams of rebels to search the Port for anything that might be of use. At first, there was nothing of any use that could be found, save for some old vehicles that could be scrapped for additional resources.

Result: Hidden Surprise!, +$3 Million in scrap.
Aside from finding a large amount of recyclable scrap, Jarmond found a cleverly hidden access point within one of the warehouses near the docks. Beneath the warehouse is a hidden train station. Judging from the language and age, it is a soviet transport station. With the Construction Yard active, power was rerouted to the station and Jarmond took the train to it's destination: A hidden submarine pen some two or three kilometers along the shoreline.
Two Victor-Class submarines were still secured by the docks, aged, but apparently functional. But what could possibly be the biggest surprise? Their cargo. The submarines were cramped by default, but they had apparently enough room for at least two or three vehicles. Or one exceedingly large tank.
In this case, a massive battletank that Kell had never seen before. The only in similar in comparison would be the Chinese Overlord Tank, but far smaller and of Russian make. There were two such tanks and there were surviving documents of the machine within the old War Factory in this hidden cavern. Aside from the War Factory and the Submarine Pen, there was a small power plant that can power both structures and the railway system.
Should the documents be decrypted and crews trained to operate these vehicles, Jarmond Kell suggests, they may be a powerful addition to your powerbase.

Kallen Qatar is last to report. The farms are continuing to produce food, but there is a sickness circulating through the base. Civilians are suffering from abdominal pains, likely due to a food poisoning outbreak. Field medics are doing the best they can, but without access to a hospital, the sickness may get worse. What is worse is that fresh water is becoming increasingly hard to get by; the UN relief supplies have bottled water, but those are running out fast.
[x] Representative of the People. Have the civilians send a representative to work with you on their problems. The GLA may not care about them, but you certainly do. (+1 to Morale) Cost: Nothing, 1 Turn
Needs: 20
1d100: 56
Result: Kallen has been making round regularly around the civilians and they have noticed that. The people chosen her to be their representative!
Kallen urges you to invest in at least one piece of vital infrastructure or morale will begin dropping by next week.
Choose one:
[] Propaganda! The people are afraid, and rightfully so. The GLA will come for them sooner or later and they want your head on a silver platter. Reassure them with a speech or two. (+1 to Morale) Cost: Nothing, 1 Turn
[] Power up the Desalination Plant. Fresh clean water free of salt. The people will be grateful. (+1 to Morale, +1 to Loyalty, +5 to Logistics Rolls) Cost: $2 Million (Upkeep: $100,000), 2 Turns
[] Educate Them. There is a distinct lack of educated personnel to take advantage of. You need skilled workers for your War Factory, your intact Desalination Plant, and possible research center. Best get started ASAP! (Basic Education for all, +1 Civilian Morale, Allows advanced buildings to be cheaply staffed from the local population) Cost: $1 Million, 6 Turns
[] Hospitals. We need them. Field medics are one thing, but we have an awful lot of dirty brown people here. And might mean disease and death. (+2 morale for Civilians, + 2 All loyalty) Cost: $1 Million (Upkeep: $100,000), 2 Turns
Funds: 2.8 Million + $500,000 (Donation), $3 Million (Salvage) = $6.3 Million
[X] Ambush them as they begin their attack! (deploy a brigade). Cost: Send either Jarmon Kell or Mahmud Abdul-Mushi
-[X] Jarmon Kell
-[X] 1x Armor Brigade (Scorpions with Technical & Buggy Support)
Nobody better at ambush. I think.
And they're going to have numeric superiority. We should try to catch them between our defenses and the ambush rather than march out.
[X] No, put the men to use and have them patrol in Technicals and Buggies. (+1 Alertness, 1d100 Training Roll)
[X] Research Anti-Tank Rocket Site (+2 to Ground Defenses) Costs: $250,000, 1 Turn
We know it's the GLA tank general, so let's prep for tanks.
[X] Break the encryption on the soviet documents for more information on the facility. (???) Cost: $500,000, 3 Turns
Definitely want the mammoths.
[X] Lay of the Land. Send men out to map the surrounding area. The GLA is coming, then we need to know this place better than they do. Cost: $2 Million, 3 Turns.
We got 2-3 turns before they get here yeah? Let's get the recon done before their main attack hits then.
[X] Hospitals. We need them. Field medics are one thing, but we have an awful lot of dirty brown people here. And might mean disease and death. (+2 morale for Civilians, + 2 All loyalty) Cost: $1 Million (Upkeep: $100,000), 2 Turns
Combat starts soon, so we want a hospital operational when they arrive. It's going to be needed to deal with all the casualties.
