曼哈顿8例题中subject, v.+ing, verb...用法，求NN解惑

曼哈顿8的P73

2. A recent formed militia, consisting of lightly armed peasants and a few retired army officers, is fighting a bitterly civil war against government forces.

句子中有多处错误，但是修改以后consistting of并没有改，只是改了以上标注黄色的部分。
我觉得，按照曼哈顿书上的知识点，“, v.+ing”应该是adverbial modifier，不能修饰名词militia？

所以我觉得改正后的句子应该是A recently formed militia that consists of lightly armed peasants and a few retired army officers, is fighting a bitter civil war against government forces.

求各位NN help me out of this problem~~~ THX！！！

A recent formed militia, consisting of lightly armed peasants and a few retired army officers, is fighting a bitterly civil war against government forces.

= Consisting of lightly armed peasants and a few retired army officers, a recent formed militia is fighting a bitterly civil war against government forces.

这里“consisting of” 发出的主体依然militia, 但是修饰的是is fighting, 作用是作为non-essential modifier 解释说明这个militia打仗时队伍的组成是怎么样的.

“， verbing" modifer 一般有两个作用：1）类似while表同时 2) 表示results/consequences
