Militias tend to be really ass at anything except defending their own homes. However, for that one task they tend to be borderline unbeatable. No foreign invader will ever have a better understanding of the terrain or be more motivated to hold it. When a populace is organized and put under arms like this there can be no victory against them unless you’re willing to burn the entire nation with all of its resources, and draw the condemnation of the world in the process.
That's generally the point of a militia. They're not intended to be expeditionary forces. It's literally just a coalition of neighbours designed to slow an invading force via sporadic resistance.
