It's interesting about dependents, a few random thoughts:
* Not all the foreign born dependents will want to go - woried over danger of travel, uncertainty and uprooting - things may be bad here but is the US worse?
* Was enough provision made for them in Op Omega?
* Was there a PERCEPTION there was enough space - unlikely as troops did not think there was space for them.
* Historically armies DID leave dependents behind (the British after the Penninsula War) - especially if things were not official and recorded - the Sharpe series has a nice scene that could serve as a template for an officer who is dealing with this.
* Some relationships might be like the Front Marriages of the Soviets in WW2. It might be accepted that the end when going home.
