The front will be very fluid, and one of the things many of the novels on a potential WWIII all have a HQ being overrun during it. This process would be repeated onwards down to Battalion level.
I would agree comparisons to a twilight war scenario and the deployments to the Middle East over the past 20 years are essentially flawed because of unchallenged strategic superiority of Western forces. In the twilight war, especially after the nuclear exchange of 1997, the idea of a secure logistic base would be shattered.
