 * Keep - Given that this is a component or task force of the US Army, it is my belief that it already is notable enough to warrent an article, not that the current article isn't in need for a major cleanup, additional citatible references, etc. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 13:02, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:00, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. AfD is not cleanup. If you come across an article like this again, please do the work of finding reliable sources and rewriting it rather than sending it for deletion. Fences  &amp;  Windows  23:25, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. Notable as a component of the Army. Don't like the cut and paste job though. Certainly needs help. Niteshift36 (talk) 03:43, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. For the same reasons I stated last time. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 10:39, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Faux keep for the purposes of comment: I would hate to lose the mention of "robots for interrogating caves". Obviously as vital as the robots themselves; the US Army has recently had to give away its supply of the people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time, friends of someone who brought the coffee to a meeting an Al Qaida member was at, etc, and needs something new to interrogate. Jargon-filled copy-paste of a training manual with Army Strong (pheeew, who did that) advertising overtones. Civvies don't care. Lifers don't own WP. Anarchangel (talk) 15:39, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
