Books aren't handy and I don't recall -- does the ORMO turn up in Soviet occupied zones in Poland?
I could see militia sort of units gelling very easily with the indigenous military forces, possibly a rougher fit with foreign allies, even on the NATO side (and definitely an issue with Soviet/Russian units in eastern Europe). Could be an interesting campaign somewhere between the "good luck you're on your own" and the "still in the army" paradigms running a small unit of US or other non-German NATO nations tasked to organize a militia among the German population or similar elsewhere. Good mission for SF guys, but circa 2000 I'd picture it being more like grabbing guys who spoke the language okay and weren't essential elsewhere.
