and I don't see the commanders there leaving everything they had right next to the refinery in Curacao after the nukes started dropping - they cant move the base but they can disperse supplies, men, equipment and ships as much as they can - in fact they probably started doing so as soon as the war in Europe went nuclear - you cant move the refinery but you don't need to keep all your eggs right next to it to get fried along with it

That is correct, the most likely thing they would do is move either the 31st or 32nd Infantry Company of the 3 Amphibious Combat Group to the island of Sint Maarten in order to spread their most combat proven force they have in the Caribbean.
Nobody is going to invade Aruba or Curacao, Venezuela has other priorities, thus the main focus will be the defense of the Netherlands part of the island of Sint Maarten.
