Given that the French still have units deployed at the Space Center I would think it was definitely intact - there is no mention of any nuclear attacks on the French in South America - and the second version does go into some detail as to what happened in the Caribbean and South America with the only nuclear attacks mentioned being on oil producing areas in the Caribbean (which doesnt apply here) or the minor nuclear war between Argentina and Brazil (again doesnt apply here)
as to the strength of the French units and how they have been reduced - they would probably have been seeing riot control duty as well as defending the Space Center from those who want to get at any supplies that were there - and you have to remember the Dutch have a Marine battalion in the Caribbean as well - and I could easily see where they might do one heck of a raid to damage the facility or try to to get even for what the French did to them in Europe - keep in mind the Dutch Marines in Europe have been conducting their own sabotage war against the French successfully so why not have their Caribbean battalion join in on the fun?
