Default ETG Ranch Training Facility

I watched a TV show tonight about Warren Jeffs' FLDS cult and the YFZ Temple facility they built near Eldorado TX, which is about 45 miles south of San Angelo. Jeffs is still serving a life sentence in Texas.

Anyway, the state of Texas seized the YFZ ranch, and in 2018 they sold it to a group called ETG for around $4 Million, who turned it into a "Military and Law Enforcement" training facility. It seems to still be in operation, except I could find very little detailed information about ETG or the training facility on the internet. Seems like it is a hush-hush operation, almost like a CIA front. Does anyone know anything about the ETG ranch and what goes on there? Texas Lantana Facilities — Texas Lantana, LLC d.b.a. Nine Mile Training Center. Seems to be tied in with a company called Dynamic Air Solutions, LLC. Who are these guys? Almost spooky - sounds like Blackwater.

There is an “ alphabet agency” rotor wing training facility” near here. See HIPs flying around some days. I used to live close to Blackwater and knew some guys there. Was no big deal back then. Forget the guys names that started Blackwater but met them at a range.

If you're not supposed to know, you're not going to be told. Move along.
