It seems to me that the refusal of many US units to report for OMEGA reflects the general disintegration of the civilization. Units that opt to stay in Germany have decided that they have a better chance of survival by holding onto what they have built for themselves in Europe than they do by giving up their heavy equipment and returning to the US. Many units no longer are willing to accept orders because the government can do little for them or little to them. Supplies are procured locally, and geopolitical concerns have fallen by the wayside, for the most part. Obviously, not everyone feels this way. However, I think it fits with the world that GDW created to have some American formations putting down roots in Germany.
I can't comment on the numbers of AFV.
I seem to recall that about 6,000 US troops from Europe are sent to CENTCOM.
