Granted that land ownership, etc wasn't very likely prewar, what about after the war started? Would the base personnel and civilians come to see the places they were occupying as their own peice of the world, even though no contracts had been signed, etc?

Even prewar, how many families would have been happy to be uprooted after spending a couple of years making a home for themselves?

If you want to change it you can say the the 11th ACR (or any other unit) did an experiment in voluntary postings extensions. If you make it a voluntary thing, you might get more soldiers who either really love Germany or are running away from something in the US.

From a lot of my reading I always felt the 11th ACR seemed to in some ways particularly connected to area of Germany they were tasked to protect. This doesn't make their roots as strong as you (and to be honest I) felt they might have been prewar, but it certainly could deepen them.
