Regardless of primogeniture, Military personnel are trained to take orders, not to fight amongst themselves. Otherwise, you'd have an army who doesn't follow orders which is not very useful when you're trying to defend yourself. I doubt there would be much infighting, at least initially. It would be more of: "we need to win this war first," with whomever is in the most senior position (or most closely related, like a cousin) taking command. It happens all the time in all sorts of organizations from gangs to mobs to monarchies to military units. Your army is only as strong as its leaders so a clear line of leadership is usually defined. It's common sense...which the Mountain Men were lacking, so I might give you that. ;)
