Only problem I see is the cost of troop infrastructure. Whole installations built to American standards from the road surfaces and up then the costs of of the logistics. It will be staggering.

OTOH the quarters in Europe are in much better condition than in CONUS.

From what I've read the new bases won't be for long term deployments to include family members like in Germany. That means no dependent schools and family housing. That will make it much easier to base these soldiers. Boy, I wish I wasn't so close to retirement, I'd love to do a short tour in Poland, or the Czech Republic. The girls there are much cuter than Bavarians.
