I was intimately involved in working the funding of that course when it started, I also took the OCONUS MTT course overseas, and my buddy was an instructor at the Huachuca course.

The course is much like language school, it is as valuable as you make it, and your proficiency is equal to your usage. The unofficial opinion from the joint service perspective is that the USMC Combat Hunter course is slightly better, and the Malaysian tracker course (which I don’t think we can take anymore) is the best. But as the Army goes, the course teaches you some decent skills, like staring at the ground for hours.

Typically you would need a group of people to go, if you need a POC at the school to ask questions of let me know. The class sizes are 24 students and as far as I can see their last scheduled class for FY10 just ended. The CTC was funded through the end of this FY after which it should be picked up by the Army, to my knowledge it was going to be funded.

I'll have to have a guy, call a guy and find out.

It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.
