I can't find an answer but is movement necessary to activate guerrillas or you can just do it straight away in LoC or department in which you already have troops and there are inactive cells?
I believe you can activate a space already with the cubes, and sweep only with them. Not 100% confident, but fairly sure. See the section I bolded below.
3.2.3 Sweep. Sweep Operations move Troops (typically, into contested areas) and locate enemy Guerrillas. Select any Cities or Departments as destinations (not FARC Zones, 6.4.4). Pay 3 Resources per space selected. Sweep is not allowed on the final Event card (2.3.9).
PROCEDURE: First, move any adjacent Troops desired into selected spaces. In addition, Troops may first move onto adjacent LoCs (1.3.6) that are free of Guerrillas and then into adjacent spaces. (Any Troops that move must reach spaces paid for as destinations.)
• Then, in selected spaces other than Forest, Activate 1 Guerrilla (1.4.3) for each cube there (Police plus Troops, whether they just moved or were already there).
• In Forest spaces, Activate only 1 Guerrilla for every 2 cubes (round odd cubes down).

So once all (or any) of the Government's troops move into a department or city, you then total all cubes in the space and then activate 1 guerrilla per cube (2 in forests).
Note that Sweeping only can travel along LOCs free of guerrillas into departments or cities. Patrols are what are used to clear LOCs.
