All of these off-post training events are rigorously scrutinized. The prior coordination is extensive and the approval process is painful. Off the top of my head, I don't remember the number for the DoDI but everybody between the SFG(A) and DoD has added to it. End result, an ODA wanting to train off of a Federal Installation had better be really serious about it because it will have grown into a royal PITA long before execution date. Hell - certain types of exercise require Congressional notification prior to approval to execute. And all of the measures emplaced are designed to prevent even the perception of what this irresponsible article is suggesting.
Lord, save me from the ravings of idiots.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
