I'm not sure there are any such restrictions anymore. Germany has a standing army of about 200k soldiers, down from 450k in 1990. The US still has about 50k troops in Germany, but I don't think they're defending us (or controlling us) as much as they're hanging around in an allied state closer to multiple conflict zones.
