    Irregulars doesn't cost you or your puppet anything. Some Irregulars have terrain bonusses similar to special forces. I don't think there is any disadvantage about them. Most of them are best used in desert, forest or mountain IIRC. Their equipment is also just created, so aside from free manpower, a freely trained unit, you get the manpower free (or in this case your puppet) and you get the equipment for free. You do reinforce them with actual MP and Eq, which is why you best use them where they're stronged or otherwise on guard duty.
