Looking at it from British perspective, here's my ideas.

You'd have a central division base, concentrating the HQ and artillery elements (probably with whatever air defence assets are left). around this centre would be battlegroups (the British like to form task specific battlegroups out of their brigades). You get around 3 battlegroups per brigade and between 2 and 3 brigades per division on average (by the 2000 probably only one or two battle groups would be left per brigade).

Again the Battlegroup would centre it's HQ and any artillery elements it has while combined-arms company groups would be spread out to cover more ground. In the case of encountering enemy (bear in mind these company grops would mstlikely be actively patrolling) they could in theory fall back quickly to reform a battlegroup and engage at a time and place of their choosing.

No doubt the battlegroup would of pre-selected areas to regroup and fight from. The British are, historicly, very good at defensive warfare.
