They follow you till they die! 
- they don’t respawn
- they don’t fast travel with you
- you can’t tell them to stay anywhere to be safe (unless it’s a banished base where you close all the gates so they can’t get out while you use your grapple hook to scale the walls to the other side lol)
Only ones I noticed that do are the ones you unlock with valor points
I think the idea was that, you free them, and then it’s just assumed that ride or die, they all just head to an FOB and gear up to defend the place and wait for you. Since I would hope you noticed they aren’t exactly ready to fight the moment you set them free. What with their armor being stripped and they scavenge nearby weapon kiosks for guns to help you.
I normally find myself finishing fights asap and leading them all to a nearby FOB, while constantly stopping to make sure all of my children-I mean soldiers, are still right behind me.

I recently found out if you load up a Razorback jammed full with Marines armed with Bulldogs, Snipers and Rockets you can sweep right through the Banished, no problem.
I figured after saving the marines, they would all accumulate somewhere to begin a counter attack on the Banished or something later in the story but they seem to just be random things to do for Valor points.

Lol children your such a good parent mine keep jumping off cliffs because for some reason the objectives are always in a valley or somewhere underground
I haven’t unlocked that vehicle yet but thanks for the tip 
I’ve been watching many of them get crushed by the vehicles I call in.

It sucks how I can rescue of a group of them and give them weapons, only to be forced to leave them behind because they cant climb up a rock or something.
