IMPO, placing a large unit- like a division, BCT, or RCT on an island is painting a bull's-eye on it for a nuclear strike. Concentrating assets on a relatively small landform would provide the Soviets with a tempting target. I can see spec-ops forces operating from a Baltic island, though. I agree that it makes sense to place the Marines (assuming they are back from Norway) in the coastal region.
