I am sure you can pay TTOS to give the training but it is not an Army course at that point.

Boy... Your Right..
JIEDDO started the program, others picked it up.. then Big Army.. Really Fort Huachuca picked up the bill. But someone there saw that it didn't fall into a MI or INTEL course or driven or gathering or something course. So they dropped it. Now units must pay "out of pocket" for it. To me, IMHO, some thing of SA should cover the bill. Heck, we send people to UK for training.
Don't get me on those cost. BLUF - like i said 5th and 10th have used it in OIF along with others. So someone in USASFC or USASOC could look at cost VS benz.
