I know they have a "survival radio" but I'm not sure describing it as an "encrypted radio" is at all accurate. You'd have to ask yourself, who sets the keys? How often are they rotated? How do they manage to do that for an item inside a survival kit?
More than likely, it's a simple "search and rescue" type radio that has no encryption and is generally intended to be used as a beacon, and not a two way line of communication after being downed.
Beacons are just that, beacons. They tell you where something is, not what state is in, or literally any other information. You also don't want to stand around doing nothing hoping that your beacon is actually working if you can actually use another means of communication as well.
Do the USMC police have any jurisdiction in civilian areas? Wouldn't they just coordinate with the Sheriff? It's in the territorial USA? Why would this level of response be justified?
Is the F35 actually that impressive? It's a dumb compromised plane created so three different branches would buy it. It barely works and it needs dozens of other planes to be operational in concert with it to do anything even remotely useful.
Having one F35 would basically be useless.
Not trying to say you're wrong, but I prefer simple explanations.
