Maybe this is just a way to keep options open by not committing the 28th or I Corps to a specific alignment in nato plans. The 28th and I Corps also figured in Korean reinforcement plans.
FWIW I corps had training and readiness oversight of 9th motorized, 6th ID, and 7th ID in the late 80s. They kind of acted like the “swing corps”. III, V, VII were all pointed at europe. XVIII was probably going to CENTCOM.
