Thought I'd give USAF Europe a go. If I was to add Chico's version of the USAF then you could multiply this orbat threefold.

US AIR FORCE EUROPE (USAFE)

US Third Air Force
The Third Air Force was predominantly based in British air bases in the UK before the war, although some of its component wings were transferred to the Seventeenth Air Force in Germany in 1996. Following the nuclear exchanges some units from the Seventeenth Air Force and the 39th Special Operations Wing in Europe were relocated to the UK as British air bases survived in far better shape than most of their NATO counterparts in Europe. In 2000 the Third Air Force is the largest surviving component of USAF Europe and works closely with British forces in the UK in security for the areas its units are located in. Flights to Europe and North America are still maintained on an irregular bases but non-essential combat operations are rare due the general fuel shortage. I’ve also grouped a number of US Navy squadrons with Third Air Force in the UK as I’m of the same view as Matt that the aircraft carrier CVN-71 Theodore Roosevelt is anchored in the Solent off Portsmouth as the British government is assisting in refuelling its nuclear core.

US Seventeenth Air Force
The Seventeenth Air Force in Germany was reinforced by Third Air Force wings in 1996, and 322nd Air Division was placed under its control. More exposed to Warsaw Pact counter-attacks than Third Air Force based units, its component units were soon dispersed to other NATO air bases operated in Germany. During the nuclear exchanges in 1997 a number of its main bases were destroyed including Sembach and Ramstein, but earlier dispersals had saved many squadrons from destruction. Although some of its units were transferred to the UK and Norway and attrition and casualties has dwindled its effective strength over the last few years, the Seventeenth Air Force works closely with the Luftwaffe and other surviving NATO forces in central Europe, and fuel allowing retains enough operational air power to deter Soviet or French forces from encroaching on Germany.
