Immediate removal of all German troops from France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Alsace-Lorraine within 14 days
Subsequent removal of all German troops from territory on the west side of the Rhine plus 30 km (19 mi) radius bridgeheads of the right side of the Rhine at the cities of Mainz, Koblenz, and Cologne with ensuing occupation by Allied and US troops.
