All personal opinions of course.
If 15 percent of the original base population stays behind it would be a mix of Admin/support/maintainance-facilities/security.
I don't think the US military's standard 10:1 tail to tooth ratio would apply as the cupboard would be pretty bare and lots of people with obsolete training would be moved to security.

Abandonment of bases would start happening in Jan-Mar 1998 when stocks start running out. The Mexican invasion in May would be the event that really gets it rolling.
