If you look at Going Home it basically says that the XI Corps is in their winter cantonments/encampments much as the Russian and Polish units are - so its not really a case of being stuck and out of supplies its more a case of doing what is the usual for units in Europe since 1998 after the nuclear strikes - which is digging in come late October/early November at the latest to ride out the winter.
Come the spring they will most likely be rejoining whats left of the US Army in Europe considering that the Soviets are breaking up and the Poles are probably done fighting any more as long as the NATO units are heading west and not east.
And the IX Corps being ordered to stay in place to keep part of Poland under NATO control until they can be relieved would make a lot of sense - especially as where they are currently was part of Germany before 1945 and the Germans would be very interested in getting their hands back on it - especially with everything west of the Rhine under French occupation.
