Regardless of where the various divisions were intended to go in prewar planning, the Twilight war, especially the middle east, did not go to plan (as if any conflict ever does).
While it might be helpful to know what the plans were, a careful read of the timeline reveals why the various units ended up where they did.
It was really all about which combat units were ready when a) the need for troops arose and b) transport was available. Note that there were still units arriving in Europe in autumn of 1999! (reinforcements mainly though).
