I think you mistake the purpose of the Observation Camps. They are not meant to drive back the kitins but to provide information about the kitins' activity so that those who need to muster to drive back kitins can do so with better information. The Camps are not fortifications, but outposts. They will be provided with troops once they are finished, but those will be only to protect the observers, not to attack kitins.
As for driving back kitins, why do you think I have been keeping maps showing the location of the Mounds and more particularly of the pods of aggressive white kitins? It is to encourage homins of any race or political persuasion to hunt them down!
In fact at one of the earlier meetings of the Ranger aspirants it was explicitly stated that the Rangers would allow those who call themselves Marauders to join the fight against the kitins.
