In some case they would form their own 'Infantry Battalions', 'Security Battalions', 'Support Battalions' and at time 'Infantry Brigade/Regiments' (much like the school brigade from Fort Bliss of the US Army), while in other cases, especially if they are sent to established Divisions to help make up for the losses, they would be used as individual replacements. It would depend on the 'local' command structure. Sometime the local Air Force or Naval commander would be the ranking member and they would prefer to have their men not assigned as cannon fodder, so it would depend on the location of the base where the excess personnel were coming from. Yeah, lot of them would/could be used as more or less local security force with the goal to preserve force while claiming they were doing the best they could do....

I'm glad you mentioned the variability of possibilities. As we've seen in Twilight: 2000, the situation varies considerably from locale to locale, region to region, and theater to theater. Assuming that the Joint Chiefs issue guidelines for handling "excess" USAF and USN personnel, the execution of those orders will vary considerably from place-to-place. Almost any of the ideas put forth are possible in the wide, wide world of Twilight: 2000.
