When I ran it, I had the bad guy Americans as strangers to the PCs, but if I did it again I'd probably have some sort of connection. In units as chewed up and small as T2K divisions, I think that while everyone might not know everyone, they'd probably be at about one degree of separation from everyone else in the division, and most leaders at company level or higher would be known at least by reputation to everyone else (maybe not always by name, but at least as "that good/bad/whatever CO/1SG over in B/4-12 Cav or similar). I'd think officers and senior NCOs, especially would know almost all their counterparts, at least well enough to put a name and unit with a face.
