"Troop withdrawal" is also ok.
Peer comment(s):

agree Robert Forstag : Yep. Although, from a purist point of view, a "troop" rightly refers to an entire unit of soldiers. Yet it has gradually lost this sense and is now widely used, as here, to refer to a single soldier (at least in US English). ;-)

Peer comment(s):
