MEC vs Insurgents

I searched and found nothing. I wonder why.
Anyway a Middle Eastern Coalition vs. Insurgents map would be interesting, and not very far-fetched; currently most Islamic countries in the Middle East have active insurgencies composed of various philosophies; from fundamentalist extremists in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, to left-wing, nationalist, US-backed or liberationist insurgency movements in Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Algeria, Turkey, etc.
All of these countries are actively fighting domestic and foreign-aided insurgencies within their own borders. But from a gameplay perspective these would be interesting matchups, seeing these two aspects of the Middle Eastern world go at each other's throats.
These maps could be standard Insurgency-based or more reminiscent of Russia vs Chechan Rebel maps with randomly-placed flags being fought over as opposed to cache-hunting. Or it could pioneer a new gameplay style of "reverse-cache" or "Guerilla mode" where MEC forces are charged with protecting various state assets, from medicinal supplies in hospitals to ammunition stockpiles, weapons caches, army barracks, police stations, etc, to signify a guerilla force actively attacking the army and infastructure of the nation, instead of the usual paradigm of insurgents occupying a city or area with a conventional army attempting to pacify them by destroying their weapons stockpiles.
