The only bases I can see continuing to be occupied are those vital to the war effort and/or sufficiently hardened against nuclear attack.

A very good point. There must be some sort of plan for this. I wonder if anything has been declassified.
Canon wise the only bases hit were Missile and Space wings IIRC, but when a single boomer can wipe out 200 bases in the time it takes to boil water for tea I can certainly see there being quite a bit of dispersion.
I don't recall any US based units mentioning this in their history. Heck the 49th Armored stays in Chicago making it a doubly ripe target. We as the reader "know" the bases won't be hit so I honestly never though of it, but it should have been on someone's mind.
