I think in many areas it will be mutual co-operation thing. Such as the US and UK units based in Germany and elsewhere.
The only reason one could call it feudal by any means is the fact that the local military commander would be the last legal representative of a National Government in the case when troops were in their home country. Say like German units in Germany, Polish units in Poland, and such.
In a lot areas especially those control by the Soviets it would be situation normal, we occupy this area, and you will provide food or else.
In any case, if the troop aren't from the Nation, they will be looked upon as a occupying force regardless if they are allies or not.
In many some cases the units commander/marauder leaders take feudal thing a bit since they see it as a way for themselves to hopefully project more power than they really have, and to help influence what ever type of National government that tries to rebuild later.
