It's just one factor amongst many. Take out one element of Milgovs reasoning to leave and they might just have stayed - enough reliable food to supply troops, enough troops to obtain said food and provide security, less threat from the surrounding region.

But, withdraw they did and directly into combat with the Civgov 84th Infantry. Sure, a handful of small units may have stayed, but for how long? Could they really hold out against the mounting pressure from virtually all directions against a variety of threats? Were those units instead absorbed by the 194th at some point and incorporated into their logistics or combat organisation?
