I kinda look at things in the US especially out west north of the border States would be much like Old West. You just replace the Native Americans that the US Army units were posted to protect the citizens from with New American. During the peaceful time the Regiments would be quite spread out, especially the Cavalry Regiments where you would find HQ with up to Squadron of Troops. Then the rest of the Regiments Troops were spread out.
You will find troops build up where New America strongholds are.
Another issue is that you have the milgov and civgov fighting for control too.
The same nagging questions that we see in units in Europe is still a problem we see multiplied due to the fact that a Division would be spread more out in the US. Units based east of the Mississippi and along West Coast and along the US-Mexico border will be more concentrated, but almost everywhere else units will have to be spread out to give the appearance to keep the citizens from feeling as they have been abandoned completely.
Also you need have concentration of troops around the New America stronghold too...
Just some thoughts.
