They’ve also lost the Baumholder training complex, which is a pretty good small arms and light weapons training complex west of the Rhine. Wildflecken should still be viable, and the Bergen-Hohne complex up north should be good to go.
Ammo, fuel, and parts for training are going to be at a premium, but part of rebuilding and reconstituting units to continue operations will be at least some level of gunnery and (hopefully live fire) collective training. Hopefully subcaliber trainers, reduced range practice (concrete) rounds, and sim gear was evacuated north. Even a few days with golf carts and everyone yelling “bang, bang” will still be better than nothing.
