Very ineteresting.
Fact: BRACC (Base Realignment And Closure Comittee) Pulled 4 Divisions, and 2 Regiments out of Europe between 92-96.
Beer math 4x30k + 2x5K = more than 70 -100K.

Fact: There are only 2 Divisions left in Europe, 1 is currently Down Range, the other just returned after a prolonged extension. Only 1 is leaving.
Beer math 1x30k does not equal 70-100K.

Fact: Korea (Asia) only has 2 BDE's, and 1 DIV Cav assigned to it. 1 is currently down range. Only 1 Bde will leave.
Beer math 1x7500, + above still does not equal 70-100K.

So, in conclusion, it appears the clinton administration who devastated the military by a reduction of 8 Divisions does not get the credit for the cold war draw down.

But the current regime, who is building the force back up by an estimated 30K, not a Division, but each Division gets a 4th active component BDE is getting the draw down scenario.

The reshaping is a thing to come. It is called BUA (Brigade Units of Action) 3ID has transformed, trained, and will re-deploy down range in this new set up. You can read about it here:
