The faster you can capture the facility, then the terrain in between becomes meaningless, since you will not need control of the terrain to bring reinforcements, then you only need a quick strike team that can hold a room for 90 seconds.

Considering your 16km sized continent will allow for a lot of circumvention, you couldn't possibly control all approach routes far away, you would need to guard the immediate perimeter of the base like a mother bear watching her cubs.
