Taji, Iraq
Currently all Army Military Transition Teams (MiTTs), receive training at Fort Riley, Kansas and Camp Buehring, Kuwait. Marine Corps MiTTs receive training both at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, CA and the Advisor Training Group on Camp Pendleton, CA. Both the Army and Marine Corps teams then conduct their final in-theater training at what was formerly the Phoenix Academy located in Taji, Iraq before they are assigned to their Iraqi Army, Police or Border units. As of early 2009 the Phoenix Academy has merged with the former COIN CFE (Counter Insurgency Center for Excellence) to become COINSOC (Counter Insurgency Stability Operations Center).
