Me IMO I think is should fall under TRADOC or JIEDDO (SA) funding. 5th and 10th, from what I'm told have used this training to track bad guy and do some bad things to them.
JIEDDO only funds for 2 years, so this initiative transitioned to the Army in ’09 I believe. The Army still budgeted for the course; however the folks in Arizona decided not to continue housing it. Some people involved wanted TRADOC to pick it up but they passed, in spite of many letters to congress and state officials, the course is not being run by the Army. I am sure you can pay TTOS to give the training but it is not an Army course at that point.
