Striker assumes a rather fluid, "WWII tank battle" model of warfare. I suspect that what you would actually see would be something like siege warfare, where the defenders are hiding inside the planet, and the attackers are trying to find them.
The orbital sensor networks would be spending their time trying to spot tiny individual targets that don't even appear as threats until they open fire at you, and turn out to be remotely controlled disposable launch systems once you destroy them. The enemy's infantry would be difficult to distinguish from civilians or animals, even if you can detect them at all. And many of them would be dug in nice and deep, and only interacting with you through tiny drone units. And not so tiny missiles.
The defenders would, of course, have difficulties with mobility and resupply. This suggests that they would tend to adopt guerrilla patterns very quickly. But these would be invisible guerrillas with tac nukes.
