It's a common misconception that all the US troops and units left with TF 34 in November 2000.
XI Corp, which is the parent unit for the 5th ID and includes the 8th ID, 2nd MARDIV, 50th AD, 4th Canadian Mechanised Brigade and the 116th ACR, remained in northern Poland, mainly because their route back to Germany was cut off in the aftermath of the spring offensive.
Fourth US Army less the 35th US MD likewise intends to stay in Germany.
So not including the 8th ID, there's something like 7,000 Amercian soliders intent on remaining in Europe after the evacuation, excluding stragglers from other units.
