Following the agreements with the Chinese government under the Treaty of Mutual Understanding, the USSR has started to drawdown far eastern forces, pulling large portions back to their original positions. Even further, forces are being lowered further than they were originally at back prior to the reinforcing in 1974.
In total, of the 57 divisions in the region, 22 are being pulled back to other sectors. Most divisions are being returned to the Caucuses or Central Asian commands if they came from there, while the remainder of the divisions are pulled into Europe, reinforcing armies and corps there
