When the soldiers go, all that is left is Air Bases and head quarters . . . and dozens of logistics sites.
As the European Security Identity gets a bit better focused, there may actually be an initiative to put real heavy lift capability in the hands of the EU Military arm. That would again color how necessary it would be for German security to have heavy lift bases on their soil.
I see the foot print getting a lot smaller, and possible being reduced to a few fuel depots at air ports, air bases, and some maintenance and logistics hangars . . . . total.
The down side is that fewer Americans will get to do as my family did, and build freindships across the sea that has lasted over 40 years. That counts for something.
