Only as a civilian, but I've spent a fair amount of time in the Norfolk / Hampton / VA Beach area. The place is littered with bases. Shipyards, naval aviation, training, weapons development and testing, logistics, you name it. It's pretty scattered and maybe not the most combat ready, but even without an infantry formation per se, it adds up to thousands of personnel, even before you count civilians. It's also home to thousands more ex service members who could probably be mobilized in a pinch.
I think they'd have to reorganize, rationalize the footprint, find a way to get extra equipment, etc. But I have no trouble believing that the personnel on hand could hold and maintain that area if they were loyal and had food. If you further assume that even a couple smaller units stayed there for added security rather than being deployed to Europe, you have a good base for the TF to return to without needing big named units in place there.
