I don't... usually, at least not with militia. I did arm all the militia and their reinforcements as my reputation improved at Cambria (up to 24 now) and Drassen Airport (up to . Other than that, I don't arm the militia at the other points I control because the AI predictably attacks certain locations depending on which squad letter they are assigned when they spawn and launch from Meduna.
Even at 24 militia in Cambria, all with SMGs, assault rifles, or better, like AKs, SVDs (actually a Zastava model, FYI), etc. they still lose around three men each attack by enemy teams numbering 6-8 men when out of sector. They can actually lose more men if you have just a couple mercs in-sector and you aren't actively doing all the killing because they don't all respond unless the enemy cross their (very) short guard range.
So for the moment I just time my movements around the counterattacks and camp my primary 6-man team at the most likely location to be attacked. Unless it's a critical location, I may just let them take it and go back and recapture it later once I've handled more important battles.
I do like the fact that the map is actually realistic in relation to the location of your teams in-sector, i.e. where you place your team on the map is roughly where they are when you load in. This does two things for me. First, it allows me to put them close to a point I want to defend, i.e. a row of concrete barricades, near a rooftop access ladder, etc. Second, it saves time when trying to get to a specific building, i.e. where a shop is.

Maybe armor counts more than I guessed. All my militia have top end weapons (because it's cheap/easy to just repair looted guns) but I haven't given them any armor.

Have you played with the flags in situations where you are attacking?
Try standing on a flag that still has soldiers attached to it and see what happens.
I actually think this would solve the hunt for the lone stragglers in ja2 problem. Especially if we move to big maps.
